Two of the most recognized brands in the Puerto Rican market have joined forces to create a new cold, ready-to-drink Cortés Chocolate product, that is 100 percent manufactured in Puerto Rico and combines Chocolate Cortes’ rich consistency with Suiza’s fresh milk.
A glittering ChocoBar, with a chocolate-based menu sure to melt a dieter's firmest resolutions, has opened in old San Juan as the first salvo in a strategy by the Cortés Group to project its brand, Cortés chocolate, internationally.
For the past 100 years, worldwide chocolate consumption has reflected a 3 percent annual increase as demand for tasty cocoa-based products has gained ground. Today, the current global market value of annual cocoa crops is estimated at $5.1 billion, according to World Cocoa Foundation statistics.
