About Chocolate drizzle

Chocolate drizzle is a sweet, liquid confection often used as a topping for desserts like cakes, ice cream, and pastries. Originating from cacao beans grown primarily in Central and South America, chocolate production has expanded globally, featuring heavily in European and American cuisines. Nutritionally, chocolate drizzle primarily consists of sugar, cocoa solids, and fats, with occasional additions such as milk or flavor extracts. It provides small amounts of magnesium, iron, and polyphenols due to the cocoa content, but it is also high in calories and added sugars. Nutritional benefits are most pronounced when using dark chocolate varieties with a higher cocoa percentage.

Health Benefits

• Contains iron, which supports oxygen transport in the blood.
• Rich in magnesium, beneficial for muscle and nerve function.
• Polyphenols found in cocoa solids may have antioxidant properties that support heart health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, soy, wheat (in some processed varieties)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Vegan (if containing milk), low-sugar diets

Selection and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is airtight to prevent the chocolate drizzle from hardening or separating. Stir before use if separation occurs.
