Pernigotti Cocoa Powder from ChefShop.com

Pernigotti Cocoa Powder - 2.2 lbs/1 kg

As seen in Saveur Magazine (Saveur 100, 2011) and Chocolatier Magazine.

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 Chocolate Sorbet or a super dense Brownies. 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.

	by Donna on 3/23/2013	The Top Cocoa Ever I first discovered this cocoa at Williams-Sonoma 20 years ago.....and have been using it ever since. Of course, now I buy it in large quantities! It makes a decadent hot chocolate, and I use it in brownies and Martha Stewart's one-bowl chocolate cake recipe. Really wonderful.....
	by Ellie Mae on 2/2/2011	Best Cocoa on the planet I have been using this exclusively for years now. I have a 'secret' brownie recipe that I make with this cocoa, syrup made from the cocoa and only the best ingredients. Everyone goes ga-ga over them. Syrup - so easy to make - anything that calls for cocoa I use this. Sometimes I mix just a touch into my coffee from a treat. If you have not tried this yet you need to. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!
	by russ on 1/12/2011	Great stuff Bought for truffle-making Christmas 2010. Wow, this is the best! I have always loved Valhrona, but glad I gave this a try. I planned to share/ gift give, as 500 truffles later, I've hardly used any......... Can't say enough great things about it. ....

	by Ellen on 9/2/2010	WOW! I just received my first order of Pernigotti Cocoa. I have been a fan of Valharona Cocoa for years, but this may have replaced it as my Favorite! It has an incredible taste, I could smell it thru the double bagging. It is just GREAT! I would highly recommend it and for 2.2 lbs it really is quite a bargain!
