Pernigotti Cocoa Powder - 2.2 lbs/1kg

ingredients: cocoa powder, vanilla

This dark, unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. Pernigotti, the famed Italian chocolate maker, removes less fat from its cocoa (20-22% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor. This wonderful cocoa 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 and have visited Pernigotti in Firenze. I just love it. Williams Sonoma doesn't have it online (or in their stores).....so I picked you."" Thanks, D.

Preparation and General Uses
Pernigotti is ready to satisfy in drinks and desserts, like a rich gelato or a super-fudge brownie. Add Pernigotti cocoa powder and sugar (to taste) to hot milk, and the aroma will transport you to breezy autumn days in the Piazza della Signoria.

Ordering Information
Please note that the cocoa comes in a "service pack." It is sealed in a thick plastic bag for production baking, and the bag attracts cocoa powder to the exterior during packaging. This is quite normal and will not affect the product.
