Characteristics of organic hot chocolate
This hot chocolate mix is made only from cane sugar, pure cocoa powder, corn starch and locust bean flour, all from organic farming and fair trade. It contains no preservatives, colourings or ingredients of animal origin, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Making hot chocolate has never been easier: the natural thickeners used - corn starch and locust bean gum - are 100 % organic and allow the characteristic thick texture of traditional chocolate to be achieved without the need for artificial additives.
The cocoa used is grown without chemical fertilisers or pesticides on farms managed by small farmers' cooperatives. Thanks to fair trade, these communities can access more dignified working conditions, stable prices and resources to invest in education, health and environmental protection. By buying chocolate from Alternativa3 you too can be part of the change that cares for people and the planet.
Benefits of Chocolate a la taza
Enjoying a hot cup of chocolate, in addition to comforting the body, also provides important nutritional benefits. Cocoa powder is a natural source of antioxidants, magnesium and iron, which contribute to general well-being, proper functioning of the nervous system and maintenance of energy levels.
Carob flour is a natural thickener that provides sweetness and minerals without adding refined sugars. Together with corn starch, it creates a creamy texture without altering the nutritional profile of the product.
Moreover, as it is a lactose and gluten-free product, it is suitable for people with food intolerances. Its organic production guarantees cleaner and more respectful consumption for both the organism and the environment.
How to prepare Chocolate a la taza
With Alternativa3, making hot chocolate is very simple. All you need to do is dissolve two tablespoons of the product in 200 ml of hot milk, vegetable drink or water. Stir well until there are no lumps and bring to the boil, stirring constantly until the desired texture is reached.
You can accompany it with fruit, toasted bread or integrate it into homemade desserts such as cake fillings, sponge cakes or custards.
If you are looking for a tasty and conscious alternative for cold days or a special moment, this organic and fair trade hot chocolate is a choice that unites tradition, taste and commitment.

Our cooperative is committed to social responsibility policies in all areas: with the producer cooperatives, maintaining long-term relationships; with the consumer, offering maximum quality and transparency; and internally, with policies of family reconciliation, team decision-making, environmentally sustainable surroundings and gender equality. Working in AlterNativa3 allows us to take part in the construction of a better reality in which people are above economic profit.
The producing cooperatives cultivate the products according to traditional, environmentally friendly techniques. No chemicals or artificial additives, which are harmful to health and nature, are used in the further processing.
