The drinking chocolate La Despensa de Palacio is the one for rainy afternoons and grandmother’s teatimes: thick, aromatic, for eating by the spoonful or for dipping.
It comes in a balloon-shaped tin, 700 g that make many cups and many conversations.

Tasting Hot Chocolate Tin
As it heats, the whole house smells of cocoa. In the cup it stays dense, glossy and velvety, with that deep flavour that calls for something to dip.
It is an old-fashioned chocolate, the kind to sip slowly without looking at the clock.
Estepa, a town of confectioners
La Despensa de Palacio makes its sweets in Estepa, in the Seville countryside, a town whose name has been tied for centuries to confectioners’ workshops, toasted sugar and the scent of almonds drifting out of kitchens when the cold arrives.
That inherited craft shows in every piece: patient recipes, carefully made boxes and tins, and a way of seeing sweets as a small luxury to share.
How to enjoy Hot Chocolate Tin
- With churros.
- With homemade sponge cake.
- With fried bread fingers.
- With melindros sponge biscuits.
The classic pairing is churros, but a homemade sponge cake, fried bread fingers or Catalan melindros work just as well. At Christmas, a cup of hot chocolate after seeing the lights is almost compulsory.
The 700 g tin
The balloon-shaped tin is decorative and practical: it protects the chocolate and looks pretty in the kitchen. Keep it closed somewhere cool and dry; preparation instructions are on the pack.
