“Life’s too short for bad hot chocolate…”
…said literally no one, because bad hot chocolate shouldn’t even exist.
Luckily, we’ve written The 101 of Hot Chocolate to make sure every cup you sip is nothing short of glorious.
Hot chocolate is more than just a drink. It’s a ritual, a comfort, a memory in a mug. From ancient Aztec ceremonies to modern artisan blends, hot chocolate has always held a place in the heart of culture. But what does it mean to truly experience hot chocolate in the 21st century?
Aztec Origins – Hot chocolate began as a bitter, spiced cocoa drink, consumed by Aztec royalty and warriors.
European Transformation – When cacao travelled to Europe in the 16th century, sugar, milk, and cream transformed it into a sweet luxury.
Modern Resurgence – Today, discerning drinkers are returning to real chocolate, seeking indulgence far beyond powdered mixes.
Most supermarket hot chocolate is made with cocoa powder, which can strip away the complexity of cacao. Chevron Hot Chocolate is different. We use luxury flakes of real chocolate, designed to melt slowly into warm milk. The result? A velvety, indulgent drink that’s layered with depth, flavour, and a Parisian sense of sophistication.
Based in Dunfermline, Scotland, Chevron Hot Chocolate was launched by Derek Walker and Martin Rae with one mission: to make hot chocolate exciting again.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
16 Distinct Flavours – From the crowd-pleasing Milk Truffle to adventurous blends like Black Forest and Whisky.
Seasonal Specials – Pumpkin Spice for autumn, Gingerbread for Christmas, and limited-edition showstoppers.
Gluten-Free & Vegan Options – Because indulgence should be for everyone.
Scottish Roots, Global Inspiration – Born from a birthday trip to Paris, crafted in Scotland, loved by customers worldwide.
Hot chocolate should be as versatile as coffee or tea. With Chevron, you can:
Classic Mug – Melt flakes into hot milk, stir until silky smooth.
Over Ice – Pour over chilled milk for a summer treat.
Cocktail Twist – Add a splash of your favourite tipple for an adult indulgence.
Dessert Creation – Use as a drizzle over cakes or ice cream.
Coffee has had its revolution. Tea has seen its resurgence. Now, it’s hot chocolate’s turn. Consumers are seeking comfort, authenticity, and luxury – all things Chevron delivers. With gifting season around the corner, hot chocolate isn’t just a drink, it’s the ultimate experience in a bag.
