In Colombia, hot chocolate con queso is a traditional comfort food across the country.  'Con queso' literally translates to 'with cheese'. Hot chocolate is to Colombia what tea or coffee are to us, so it's a really social beverage, most families making warm cups of cacao with breakfast every day. When Colombians are looking to elevate their already beloved hot chocolate, they add a chunk of cheese to the bottom of the cup. Now that might seem strange, but believe us, the creamy, salty, mild cheese really works with the sweet, smooth hot chocolate.  Colombian hot chocolate is mad ..read more

Halloween has become synonymous with trick or treating, more specifically, with sweets and chocolates.  Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve is celebrated all over the world on the night of the 31st of October.  Generally, these celebrations now involve groups of children dressed up in any given combination of bin liner capes, white face paint, plastic fangs and little sachets of ketchup to squeeze on gory demand. Traditionally, children wander from house to house, demanding ‘trick or treat!’ at every door.  Supposedly intimidated by the spooky brigades’ ‘tricks’ that may or may not be ..read more
