When the weather gets cool, a great beverage alternative is hot cocoa. Finding great varieties of cocoa with lower sugars is difficult, but one of the most impressive lines of cocoas I have sampled comes from Vervacious. The Maine-based company has a full line of wonderful spices, salts, vinegars and their line of Hot "Xocolates".Wonderful yet understated hints of Vanilla Bean and Orange give these cocoas an unexpected hint of flavor that melds with the chocolate and milk base.
The full line also includes exotic flavors like Spiced Hot Pepper, Espresso, Sicilian Sambuca and Viennese Cinnamon.
Perhaps the most outstanding aspect of the line is the packaging. Vervacious has been recognized for their beautiful glass containers which are stackable making them works of art for your counter.
