Bové Chocolate

Bové Chocolate

Notes:

Excellent thin, milky consistency that does well to deliver the flavor that it is tasked to carry— a flavor that I’m warming up to with each sip. It’s highly unique, and has a buttery-rum like quality but not in a nasty/boozy manner. More butter than rum, the cocoa is there but can get a little lost in the shuffle. Give this an honest try, I promise by the end you’ll appreciate the uniqueness.

A week in CDMX saw 18 new chocolate milks, many of which aren't worth writing home about-- but I'll cover the few notable exceptions here. Also, a quick visit to La Gateria cat cafe, and an impromptu chocolate milk review in the airport.
