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. ....

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!

The Top Cocoa Ever

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.....

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!!!

My drug of choice!

Many years ago, I got Pernigotti from Williams-Sonoma. When they stopped stocking it, I did a web search and found Chefshop, who have been supplying me with this rich, excellent cocoa for many years now! This stuff is excellent for both baking and cocoa!

Deep chocolate experience

This cocoa takes anything chocolate to an whole new level. The depth and smoothness is beyond any brand I have used, and I have used many. Intense chocolate experience, but not bitter or harsh. Be prepared to be asked for repeat performances!

by Seth

Best cocoa I've ever used

Believe it or not, I first found out about this cocoa from the Goldie Bear culinary mysteries. I can't remember which one, but I am forever grateful! This is hands down the nest cocoa I've ever used! I don't like it in homemade hot cocoa for some reason, but in every other capacity that I've used it, my recipies have turned out mind blowing!!

by Nicole

The best!

I use ChefShop Cocoa Powder to make what my family calls my "famous" molten lava cakes. I'm told they are of restaurant quality. But I also use it to make my own personal hot cocoas. I often give it a Mexican twist with a dash of cinnamon and cayenne. Rich!

by Susie

Wonderful Cocoa

We started using this cocoa when the Pernigotti was not longer available. This is a delicious cocoa!! We use it in all our recipes.

Love this Cocoa Powder

I use this in baking and put a little in my chocolate smoothie every day. I've tried others, but this is my favorite.

Best Chocolate

I've been using Pernigotti cocoa for years and I bought some of your cocoa to try. It is an excellent cocoa. I made our family's signature chocolate cake recipe that has been in the family for over 70 years. It is still fantastic! I won't buy anything else.

by Judy

The perfect cocoa powder!

Like others here, I started using this when it was sold by Williams Sonoma. Then I needed to search for a real source when that went away and found Chef Shop. So glad I did! This cocoa powder is dreamy for baking as well as making hot chocolate and other drinks. The fat content lends a terrific texture and lingering flavor; the overall profile is intense but not overwhelmingly bitter. I think it strikes an excellent flavor balance. Highly recommend for any recipe which demands a superior quality chocolate!

by HeidiB

Best Cocoa Powder Ever!

I freely admit that I'm hooked. The Chef Shop cocoa powder will do that to you. With just a hint of vanilla, and a dark color and intense flavor, a day is no longer complete without a nightcap of strong cocoa made with this product.

Holy Grail of Cocoas

This is love-of-your-life cocoa, if you are an obsessy baking enthusiast like myself. It is worth its weight in gold. I, too, used to buy it at Williams Sonoma when it was labeled Pernigotti. It is expensive and it is 100% worth it. I can’t bring myself to use up my “old” cocoa, which I thought was the best. (Guittard. Easily second best)

by Angela

Awesome

Makes for amazing brownies!

by David

Wow!

Was using various permutations of King Arthur Cocoas. Just tried this in my usually very good cocoa brownies. I could smell and taste the difference immediately. Revelation! Will never use another cocoa. This is THE BEST!

ChefShop's Cocoa Powder (22% to 24% Cocoa Butter!)

2.2 lbs/1 kg - Holland

Get ready to make the best brownies, the best chocolate cake, and the best cookies known to any oven on the planet! This dark cocoa powder will make gelato and ice cream superb.

Our Dutch process Cocoa Powder has 22% to 24% cocoa butter with real vanilla. (not vanillan)

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

ingredients: cocoa powder, vanilla

This Dutch process dark unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. They have removed less fat from our cocoa (22-24% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor. This wonderful Dutch process cocoa powder 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!

Preparation and General Uses of Cocoa Powder

ChefShop Dutch Process Cocoa Powder is ready to satisfy in drinks and desserts, like a rich Chocolate Sorbet , or Super Dense Chocolate Brownies. Buy unsweetened cocoa powder and add with sugar (to taste) to hot milk, and the aroma will transport you to breezy autumn days in the Piazza della Signoria.
