Drinking Chocolate 100% Cacao – No Added Sugar

Drinking chocolate made from pure cocoa, completely without sugar

Bonnat's 100% drinking chocolate consists of pure cocoa drops made from cocoa and cocoa butter, with no added sugar. When dissolved in hot milk, they create a deep, dark, tart hot chocolate that you can sweeten just the way you like.

100% Cocoa drinking chocolate by Bonnat is as pure as chocolate can get: pure cocoa and cocoa butter, not a gram of sugar. From the Bonnat chocolate factory in Voiron come small, deep dark drops that you melt in hot milk and sweeten to taste. Tart, intense, honest.

Purely tart, as sweet as you want

Without sugar, the 100% tastes tart and deep at first, almost like liquid dark chocolate, with a long cocoa finish.

Stirred into hot milk, it becomes velvety and dark; how sweet it is, you decide yourself with a spoonful of honey, maple syrup, or coconut blossom sugar. For purists, it remains unsweetened, a small espresso among hot chocolates. Whether cow's milk, oat, or almond drink, all carry the bold cocoa well.

Because no sugar binds the drops, they are also suitable for baking, for dark ganache, mousse au chocolat, or anywhere that pure unsweetened chocolate is called for. Allowing one or two drops to melt on your tongue reveals what this bean is truly capable of.

Eaten pure, the 100% is something for experienced palates: first the full impact of the cocoa, then a gentle warmth, and finally a long, dark lingering finish that only pure cocoa has. Once you have reached that point, you will hardly want to return to an overly sweet cup.

Two ingredients, twenty hours, no sugar

For the 100%, Bonnat needs only two ingredients: cocoa and cocoa butter, nothing else.

The fermented beans are gently roasted and conched for around twenty hours until the dry mass turns into a silky melt. On the label, these pure drops are called Pépites 100% Cacao. Entirely without sugar and without soy lecithin, this drinking chocolate is a little rarity for everyone who wants to taste cocoa in its unadulterated form.

You rarely find such pure cocoa drops, because most drinking chocolates already contain sugar and milk powder. Bonnat leaves the sweetening to you and sends only the cocoa into the glass—nothing else is needed.

No traces of nuts, good for allergy sufferers

The 100% is also completely free of any traces of nuts, is lactose-free, and free from soy and soy lecithin.

This means nut allergy sufferers can enjoy it without worry, and those who want to avoid added sugar will find here a cup made of nothing but cocoa. In many chocolates, traces of nuts are hard to avoid; in these drops, they are not.

Conceived in purity in Voiron since 1884

The Chocolaterie Bonnat was founded in 1884 by Félix Bonnat and continues to operate today in its fourth generation under Stéphane Bonnat.

Stéphane buys his cocoa directly from small plantations and processes each origin separately so that its character is preserved. This is particularly evident in the 100%: without sugar, the cocoa stands entirely on its own, with everything that the soil, climate, and harvest have given it. Much like a good wine, this chocolate displays its terroir. As early as 1884, Félix was roasting his own beans instead of buying pre-made mass, and this high standard has remained for four generations.

Those who prefer a little sweetness can reach for the mild 65% drinking chocolate or the robust 80% variety. The 100%, however, belongs to the purists, for the moment when only the pure cocoa counts.
