Ferrero Food Services Back

Gearing up for the biggest European Coffee Expo yet, Ferrero Foodservice will be showing operators how they can boost hot beverage profits with the help of Thorntons Luxury Hot Chocolate Powder.

Visitors to stand F12 at the leading hot beverage expo, will be one of the first to sample the latest innovation, set to raise the standard for hot chocolate powder out-of-home.

Zareen Deboo, Foodservice Channel Operators Manager, Ferrero UK & Ireland says;
“Research shows there’s a real gap in the market for a quality hot chocolate powder that really delivers on taste. We are excited to bring our new Thorntons Luxury Hot Chocolate Powder to the European Coffee Expo, it’s been crafted by our expert chocolate makers and we’re confident it will help all operators realise the potential of their hot drink sales.”

The arrival of Thorntons Luxury Hot Chocolate Powder will enable operators to meet the growing demand for an exceptional hot chocolate experience suitable for every occasion, as the latest independent research** reveals only 8% have enjoyed a ‘very good’ hot chocolate whilst traveling (10% from a vending machine and 21% using in-room services).

Zareen adds:
“The latest findings provide a fantastic opportunity for operators to exceed consumer expectations on every occasion. Visitors to stand F12 will be able to taste the powder for themselves and speak with our team to find out how the new Thorntons Luxury Hot Chocolate Powder can significantly improve the customer experience whether it be in-room, through vending or as part of the on-board offering. All backed with over 100 years of Thorntons chocolate making expertise.”

Made using Thorntons chocolate recipe and already containing milk powder, operators simply need to add water to instantly create a luxurious hot chocolate. The range includes a 1.6kg catering pouch, 21g single serve sachet for in-rooms, and 12oz cup for on-board services.
