Italian-style Hot Chocolate back at the Barossa Farmers Market this Saturday 13th Feb
A few weeks ago, our special Italian hot chocolate machine was laid to rest, after having served us faithfully every week for the last 6 years. We had to get a new one in from overseas, as they are not a common item here in Australia like they are in Europe, and it wasn't meant to arrive until mid-March, but by some miracle in these time of delayed delivery, it actually arrived earlier than expected! As a result we will once again be able to offer our popular Cioccolata Calda (Italian Hot Chocolate) again each week at the market 😋🥰
Italian hot chocolate is different to the more common English powdered drinking chocolate. Cioccolata Calda is made from dark, delicious couverture chocolate, melted into hot milk (in this case the fabulous pure Jersey milk from Jersey Fresh) and thickened to give it some substance. It is then topped with lashings of fresh cream (also from Jersey Fresh) and sprinkled with shavings of the same couverture chocolate used to make the drink along with a little cinnamon and fresh ground nutmeg.
