Vosges Haut-Chocolat Aztec Elixir Couture Cocoa 16 oz.  During summer months and for destinations in warmer climates please use expedited shipping methods as we are unable to guarantee the integrity of the chocolate once subjected to higher temperatures. Delicious chiles, cacao, Mexican Vanilla Beans, and cinnamon flavors permeate the couture Aztec Elixir by Vosges Haut-Chocolat. The history of chocolate, Xocatyl - pronounced Zo-cah-til, lies within the secrets of the Aztecs. Aztec chief, Montezuma, indulged in his revered potion of crushed cacao beans infused with chilies, Mexican vanilla beans, cinnamon and thickened with maize powder. To prepare a potion of Xocatyl was an elaborate and labor-intensive process. A long wooden swizzle stick, a molinet, was used to agitate the cocoa beans, water and spices yielding a frothy cream. This cream was considered to be the most desirable part of the drink. Montezuma consumed an abundance of the rich concoction, as some believed it possessed aphrodisiac qualities fortifying their leader’s god-like virility. It is rumored he drank only from a chalice of gold, 50 times a day! Vosges brings history full circle and reintroduces the Xocatyl, a concotion of Aztec spices, a touch of sugar, milk and cream. Truly gourmet with only the freshest ingredients and utterly imaginative East-Meets-West flavor blends, Vosges Haut-Chocolat is dessert couture at its most original, most delicious! Can be made with cream or soy milk! Recipe makes 3 servings - 11 servings per box approx.
