Ingredient FAQ
Welcome to the Ingredient FAQ! Here we try to answer any questions you may have about our chocolate. If you don’t see the answer to your question below, just send us an email at hello@TheTicketKitchen.com and we’ll be happy to answer your question.
Q: I do not consume high fructose corn syrup or partially hydroginated oils. Can I enjoy your chocolate?
A: Yes! Our products do not contain any high fructose corn syrup or partially hydroginated oil. We pride ourselves on using the finest ingredients. Each hot chocolate Ticket Stick contains the fineest couverture chocolate and all-natural flavorings.
Q: Are your products gluten free?
A: We have thoroughly reviewed all of our product ingredients, and nothing that goes into our hot chocolate should have anything that would conflict with a gluten-free diet. We are not certified gluten free at this point, however, and The Ticket Kitchen holds no responsibility for any claims that we are certified gluten free.
Q: Are your products dairy free?
A: Our milk chocolate, of course, is not dairy free. As for our dark chocolate and bittersweet chocolate, while those chocolates do not include dairy as an ingredient, our chocolate is created in a facility that processes items with milk solids, so The Ticket Kitchen cannot guarantee that our product is dairy free.
Q: Do you have any vegan products?
A: Our dark and bittersweet chocolate contain no dairy and no animal byproducts. We hope you'll take a moment to enjoy our French Dark Truffle, our Three Chili, and our Venezuelan Bittersweet hot chocolate.
Q: Can I consume your product if I have a soy allergy?
A: No. If you have a soy allergy, you should not consume our product. Almost all chocolate, ours included, uses soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Because chocolate is an emulsion (a mixture of substances that would otherwise seperate) it needs an emulsifier to keep it together. Almost all chocolates rely on soy lecithin to do the job, as does ours.
Q: Are your products completely peanut & tree nut free, or is there a possibility of cross contamination in the manufacturing?
A: While we cannot guarantee that our items are not cross contaminated by peanut or tree nuts, we can tell you that during the making of our chocolates, no nut products are used and no other nut products are being made. The Ticket Kitchen holds no responsibility for any guarantees that our items are not cross contaminated by peanut or tree nuts.
Q: I would like to purchase you chocolate now and use it for gifts in a month or two. How do you recommend I store it?
Because we make our Ticket Sticks from fine couverture chocolate and make fresh batches often, our chocolate will last for months stored at room temperature in a dry place. A cooler spot like a cupboard or pantry is perfect. As long as you do not put the chocolate in direct sun or any other warm spot, it will keep beautifully. We also don't recommend storing chocolate in the fridge, as it has a natural tenancy to soak up odors around it.
