Arkadia 40% Drinking Chocolate — Common Questions

What does Arkadia 40% drinking chocolate taste like?

It's a bold, full-bodied chocolate with deep, earthy cocoa intensity from 100% Ivory Coast cocoa, lifted by subtle orange zest, hazelnut and dried stone fruit notes. The balanced bitter-sweetness makes it richer and more distinctive than a standard sweet drinking chocolate.

How many serves does a 1kg bag make?

At the recommended 20g per serve, a 1kg bag makes around 50 serves. That makes it easy to portion and cost per cup for a busy café or venue.

Is it suitable for vegan, gluten-free, Halal or Kosher menus?

Yes. Arkadia 40% is Gluten Free, Plant Based, Halal Certified and Kosher Certified, with no artificial colours, sweeteners or preservatives. Note the ingredients list flags that milk and soy may be present, so it's best to check suitability for severe allergies.

How do I make a café hot chocolate with it?

Add 20g of powder to the cup, then steam with milk to around 60–65°C, whisking or steaming well to dissolve fully. For a mocha, stir the powder into a shot of espresso first, then add steamed milk. For iced chocolate, dissolve in a little hot water, then add cold milk and ice.

What sizes does it come in?

It's available as a single 1kg bag or a 12 × 1kg box for high-volume cafés and venues. The box is the cost-effective option if you get through chocolate quickly.

What's the difference between 40% and 33% cocoa?

The 40% cocoa blend is bolder and more intense, with deeper cocoa character and a more pronounced bitter-sweetness. A 33% cocoa blend is sweeter and milder — often preferred for kid-friendly or sweeter-toothed menus. Choose 40% if you want a premium, distinctive chocolate that stands out.
