PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Giffard Crème de Cacao Blanc is a clear, sweet chocolate-liqueur built on high-quality cocoa beans, with strong chocolate aroma tempered by hints of vanilla, coffee, and caramel. At ~25 % ABV, it's rich yet mellow — excellent for dessert cocktails, creamy drinks, or adding chocolate nuance without color to lighter cocktails.

Purity of flavour: Even though it’s made from dark/West African cocoa beans, the white version removes pigments while retaining cocoa flavour, giving you chocolate without muddied colour.
Versatility: Because it's clear, it can be used in cocktails where you want chocolate flavour without dark colouring — e.g. white cocktails like a White Russian, Brandy Alexander, or dessert-style drinks.
Balanced sweetness: It manages to be indulgent without going overboard; the sweetness is moderated by vanilla, caramel and minimal bitterness.
