The SF Chocolate Salon was a great success. With nearly 4500 Salon-goers we barely had enough Schoggi Drinking Chocolate and mini Ice Squares to share with the chocolate loving masses. We are happy to report that Schoggi got and Honorable Mention Award from Taste TV for our European style Drinking Chocolate.

Here's what others are saying about the Salon:

"The next [two] standout[s] were in liquid form. Schoggi was pouring a hot chocolate that not only had great flavor, but more importantly had the perfect viscosity. No matter how good the chocolate used, if a hot cocoa is too thick, or too thin, the flavors will not finish fully when swallowed. This was absolutely spot on."

"the best hot chocolate mix by far"

"Schoggi Imported Swiss Chocolates (especially their hot chocolate) were another favorite."
