OUT OF STOCK - We do not have an estimated time of arrival.
Sadly we have heard that cocoa supplies are in short supply. And that our costs are unsure. We still have access to Valrhona and if you need cocoa powder immediately this may be your best choice for the near future.
ChefShop's Cocoa Powder (22% to 24% Cocoa Butter )
2.2 lbs/1 kg - Dutch
Formerly known as Pernigotti Cocoa Powder
As Seen in Saveur100 and Chocolatier Mag, a favorite for years!
With this chocolate powder for baking, get ready to make the best brownies, the best chocolate cake, and the best cookies known to any oven on the planet! This cocoa powder will make gelato and ice cream superb.
We have now gone directly to the original producer of Pernigotti Cocoa Powder - whom we have known for over 15 years. As a result, the cocoa butter content is back to 22% to 24% - where it really should be to get that rich, chocolaty flavor. And as always, it's with real vanilla (not vanillan)
As seen in Saveur Magazine (Saveur 100, 2011) and Chocolatier Magazine.
ingredients: cocoa powder, vanilla
Don't be fooled. If your friends rave about the unsweetened cocoa powder called "Pernigotti cocoa", this is the Cocoa Powder they are talking about. The other Pernigotti cocoa (in the other packaging) is not the same.... the cocoa in the other packaging has "flavour" added - otherwise known as *vanillan* or artificial vanilla, and the cocoa butter content is lower! PLUS the other cocoa butter content is not up to that critical 22-24%. We have the original formula -- the real deal!
This dark, unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. They have removed less fat from our cocoa (resulting in a 22-24% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor. Pernigotti Cocoa Powder is Dutch processed and has a touch of ground vanilla bean. Our regulars know what a great cocoa this is!
"I've used this cocoa for years ... I just love it. Williams Sonoma doesn't have it online (or in their stores).....so I picked you."" Thanks, D.
