R. Torre and Company presented Torani European Drinking Chocolate for the ultimate chocolate experience. Inspired by the traditional European chocolate drinks of the 17th century, the new offerings are liquid chocolates that may be sipped. Torani European Drinking Chocolate contains morsels of Schokinag chocolate from Europe's premier chocolatier; they are transformed into liquid by steaming them with milk. The result is intensely flavored chocolate beverages that can be consumed day or night. Flavors include Triple Chocolate, Ultimate Dark, German Chocolate Cake, and Dulce de Leche. Made with premium unsweetened chocolate, real cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and natural vanilla, Torani European Drinking Chocolate is all natural and GMO free.
