Ghirardelli chocolate syrup

[alacarte]

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some Ghirardelli chocolate syrup? Not the powder, not the candies. The syrup. My favorite coffee shop uses it to make the most wonderful mochaccinos I've ever had...I need to get some of this for my own personal stash.

It's on the Ghirardelli website here, but says that it's only available to the trade.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

So how about it folks? This sounds like something I need to try. I'm thinking a restaurant supply or coffee supply company would probably carry this.

If Ghirardelli says it is only available to the trade, it is probably not packaged for retail sale (i.e., in gallon bottles or restaurant-sized cans marked "not for sale at retail") -- which would account for the reason none of us have ever seen it for sale in stores. Looks like you can get it online here, though.

I'm considering buying the mega-gallon size, what the hell. Rachel, if you're coming the pie potluck & you're interested, I'll bring it (unopened) and we can split it there. There's plenty of room for a few other people to get "shares" in the Ghirardelli chocolate too.

Hey... you might be shocked at how fast you go through one of those jumbo bottles.

...thereby upping my personal weight status to "jumbo" as well!

Yea... well that's more or less a done deal in my case. No chocolate syrup required here.
