Ghirardelli ブラックレーベル チョコレートソース - 2470グラムボトル

This is the best chocolate sauce. I would buy it more often but it's so expensive. For customers who haven't tried this before, I wouldn't bother with the pump. The product is too thick for it to be useful. Stand the bottle upside-down for a few minutes before use, then just squeeze the bottle. When this doesn't work anymore, cut the bottle open and scape the rest into an airtight container. I know this may seem like a lot of work but I feel this syrup is worth it.

I am a chocolate junkie. No two ways about it. I have tried all the major brands of chocolate. After sampling them all I have come to the conclusion that Ghirardelli Chocolate Flavored Sauce is the best in all categories. Typically the American palette likes the sweeter, less chocolatey thinner syrups. The bitter heavily roasted cocoa and high sugar with vanilla create a distinct flavor profile with little complexity and a huge chocolate finish. Named after a company in Pennsylvania starting an H, most consider this to be a true chocolate flavor but it is more reminiscent of burnt coffee than chocolate. After trying all of the best sellers, I have come to the conclusion, at just about any price, Ghirardelli is the best. The syrup is very thick, not so sweet with a rich, deep chocolate flavor that while initially seems less chocolatey than lesser syrups that give you everything up front then leave with just a sweet syrupy finish. The subtle deep chocolate flavor of the Ghirardelli builds with complex notes, subtle true dark chocolate flavor with just enough sweetness. The finish is a nice chocolate flavor that is not so sweet that you cannot experience the real flavor of the cocoa. It is not roasted as dark, and therefore not so bitter. The bitterness in my estimation hides the low-quality of chocolate in the cheaper, more commercial generic brands. I use the pump for my product as I have a super-automatic espresso machine and have a daily mocha. I have to admit I use what most would consider an excessive amount of chocolate but I have grown to really love this stuff over all other brands, even the extraordinarily expensive chocolate made by a large coffee company starting with S. While theirs is good, actually quite similar to this, they charge about 6 times as much, not at all worth it and often times the packaged product is old (probably because of the high price). If you are a coffee fanatic like me, get the 87.3-ounce package and the pump. It is a better deal plus the pump meters out about 1 tablespoon per press to help you make consistent drinks or for ice cream. Many have complained that the pump stops working before all the product is used up. I have a simple solution for that. When I have extracted all I can with the pump, I remove the pump. Then simple put the entire bottle in the microwave for about 20 seconds and you can simply pour the remaining 10% of the product out. For me it’s time to reorder another. Cleaning the pump must be done after each bottle to prevent mold or contamination from the air. I can usually get about 2 tablespoons out of it, enough for a small mocha. For me it is like licking the frosting from a bowl after mixing. Go ahead and lick it clean! I take it completely apart, then clean, dry and reassemble for next use. Be careful not to lose any parts of the pump, it’s rather expensive. I recommend taking it apart before you use it so you can see how it comes apart. There is no better chocolate sauce at any price.

Good product. Rich chocolate taste. I keep it refrigerated. No issues with storage with refrigeration. Last longer, I find by storing it this way.

I absolutely love Ghirardelli premium sauce. It has consistently been my go-to for lattes and macchiatos, and after trying quite a few alternatives over time, I always find myself coming right back to this one. The flavor is rich and smooth without tasting artificial or overly sugary. It blends beautifully into espresso drinks and adds that perfect chocolate depth without overpowering the coffee itself. Whether I’m making a simple mocha latte or adding a drizzle to a macchiato, it just works. I’ve experimented with other brands just to see if I was missing out on something better, but nothing quite matches the balance and consistency of this sauce. Every time I try something new, I end up returning to Ghirardelli. It’s reliable, tastes great, and consistently delivers that cafe quality result at home.

This was very rich and made the best chocolate milk, great on ice-cream, and dare I say it chocolate martini
