Celaya Valrhona Hot Chocolate – Spanish Tablet 226g

Celaya's hot chocolate tablet is a Madrid institution. For generations, this blend of Spanish cacao and Valrhona's French expertise has been the go-to choice for a proper chocolate a la taza — thick, rich, and meant to be whisked with milk until it coats the back of a spoon. The 226-gram tablet dissolves into exactly the kind of drink that justifies a slow morning.

About this product

This is not drinking chocolate powder sprinkled into warm milk. Celaya tablets are designed to be melted and whisked directly into hot milk or water, creating a dense, luxurious suspension rather than a thin sweetened beverage. The blend combines quality cacao with just enough sugar and cocoa butter to achieve that characteristic silky texture Spanish chocolate drinkers expect. Each tablet is portioned for ease — break off what you need and warm gently.

How to enjoy

• Heat milk or water gently in a saucepan; break a piece of the tablet into the warm liquid and whisk continuously until fully dissolved and frothy.
• Pour into a cup and serve with churros, a plain biscuit, or a piece of Manchego cheese for a traditional pairing.
• Adjust the ratio of chocolate to liquid to your preference — some prefer it nearly spoon-thick, others prefer a sippable consistency.
• A small piece melted into coffee creates a Spanish-style mocha.
