Country Dairy Dutch Chocolate Milk
What it is
This is a ready-to-drink chocolate milk beverage. It is made with real milk and flavored with cocoa. The Dutch process for cocoa involves treating the beans with an alkaline solution. This process can mellow the natural acidity of the cocoa, resulting in a smoother, richer chocolate flavor. It is a popular choice for those who enjoy a less bitter chocolate taste in their beverages.
