Hollander Chocolate: Coffee’s Perfect Partner

Written by Intermix Resources | 11/11/24 4:37 PM

The relationship between coffee and chocolate is long and much loved — just ask the thousands of mocha drinkers who make it the second most popular espresso-add-on flavor — surpassed only by vanilla.

Our friends at Hollander Chocolate Co. take this relationship seriously, having formed their business specifically to serve the coffee industry. 

With their fastidious sourcing and processing standards, Hollander Chocolate assures their sauces, cocoa powders and frappe bases blend easily and taste just right, as part of your coffee and tea menus.

 

 

Produced in the U.S. with U.S. ingredients wherever possible

Made in Wisconsin, Hollander products use local dairy, sugar produced in Hawaii, and salt from the Oregon coast. 

Their premium chocolate is also crafted with a conscience: no trans fats, no high-fructose corn syrup, and absolutely no GMOs. 

 

Plus, Hollander is serious about quality and ethical sourcing abroad

The natural cocoa butter in Hollander products lends a rich base note that allows espresso, teas, and added flavors to shine. The company maintains strong relationships with cacao-producing areas that offer fair employment, and gives a portion of its proceeds back to at-risk communities in those regions. 

 

Dutch-processed perfection

This extra step includes alkalinization, which creates a neutral pH and a rich, smooth flavor that actually enhances your coffee and tea, letting those signature notes shine through – never masking them. 

 

Super fine cocoa particulates

Hollander takes the Dutch process one step further and grinds their cocoa to a fine consistency beyond textural impurities, so it’s never clumpy or chalky. 

 

Thinner sauces for easier blending

Hollander Sauces have a silkier consistency thanks to innovative manufacturing practices. Their sauces maintain a workable consistency to the last pump.

 

To sum it up: 

Hollander is obsessed with ingredients that are clean and ethically sourced. And the result is professional flavor profiles that win blind tastings. 

Intermix's partnership with Hollander is just another way we're bringing you the best of the best.
