Why it's worth it

Ciobar is the most popular Italian hot-chocolate brand, the sachet mix that makes the thick, spoonable cioccolata calda served in Italian bars in winter, not a thin cocoa drink. It is a cheap, distinctly Italian pantry buy that recreates the café experience at home. Not a Czech supermarket brand.
