I have some that I bought some 20 years ago, it's good for Mexican
style hot chocolate but not for much else. I bought it at a famous
Hispanic market on Long Island, Brentwood Market, I shopped there
practically every day, but they are no longer in business, the
neighborhood changed and they closed.

Ingredients say 100% pure cocoa. Manufactured by S.C.S. de Jose Jesus
Restrepo & Cia. S. A. Manizales Product of Colombia. Weighs 8.6 oz. I
paid $1.59... that's what the label says.
It's been sitting in my cupboard all these years in a zip-loc, about
3/4 remaining, don't remember what I used it for. It's been sitting
all these years, forgot I had it until I saw your post. If you want
it I will be happy to mail it to you, give me a snail mail addy. If
you're interested I will give you my email addy. If the email addy
you have posted is working I already sent you an email... let me know
if you want it and where to send it.
