ChefShop Cocoa Powder

Haven’t tried it in a recipe but very good in my morning drink. Maybe not quite as top notch as before they had to change due to ingredient issues. But I love it and I love chef shop

Perfect color for rich chocolate-y flavor.

Very happy to find this cocoa powder! I made a cake and it got rave reviews. Very nice rich chocolate flavor. Bought the big size and plan to replenish when it is gone.

I just love, love, love the ChefShop Cocoa Powder. As a long time user, I have found that it works well with anything that needs cocoa powder. It tastes really great and elevates anything it is mixed in. It is great for hot chocolate and a teaspoon in a cup of coffee is a game changer!!! Do yourself a favor and give ChefShop Cocoa Powder a try!

Love this cocoa powder! By far the highest quality I have found- rich and delicious.

If you’ve been looking for Pernigotti’s which is no longer at Williams-Sonoma, you’ve found it. Well packed and shipped with care. Happy baking! :)

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!

If heaven made unsweetened cocoa, this is it. Have been using Perignotti cocoa powder for a number of years. The flavor and density of the chocolate is so delicious everything you baked is elevated. It did take me awhile to go through 2 lbs of cocoa, which is why I kept searching for it before I ran out. How happy I was to find it again….love it love it. Nothing else can compare!

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. ....

Deep, but smooth taste. Proud to serve this cocoa and made Ina’s cake with it. Just beautiful cocoa.

Everything is lovely; however, my cookies were put on the bottom of the box and heavy fig preserves and fruit cake were packed on top of them, so the box was crushed. They were supposed to go in my sister's stocking, but it's not nice to put a crushed box in someone's Christmas stocking.

This cocoa was not as good as what used to come from Italy, as you know. But if it is the best you can get now, i will continue to buy it. My test is always to make a cup of hot cocoa. It was good, but next time I’ll add a bit more cocoa powder and a touch more of vanilla 😊. Thank you for having these great products available for my kitchen!

If you care about using the best cocoa on the face of the planet, buy this.

The issue with this cocoa is getting it. I find they run out of it now almost everytime I want to order about every 2-3 months. My obvious suggestion to Chefshop would be: order more if you always run out.

I have 8 varieties of cocoa at home -- red cocoa, black cocoa, natural cocoa, and several high-end specialty cocoas (Barry Extra Brut, Valrhona, Guittard, Ghirardelli...). My family goes through enormous quantities of cocoa powder -- for hot cocoa, brownies, chocolate cakes, cookies... and this is by far our favourite. It has depth, complexity, and richness. While the specialty cocoas are excellent, I find they can sometimes be quite bitter, lack richness or body. This one is always perfect for whatever we are making.
And being in Canada, I go to great lengths to buy this cocoa -- that should tell you how much we love it!

This is the real deal! My order came lightning fast.

Got this cocoa powder for my daughter and wife, who are great bakers. My daughter usually bought the Pernigotti Cocoa Powder and was unable to find it anywhere. This was her favorite go to cocoa powder and this one from Chef Shop is equally as good according to her. My wife said the texture, consistency and cocoa flavor is nice to have. Fortunately, I get to enjoy their baked goodies. Both of them give it a “5 star” recommendation!

Taste is amazing! Hands down the darkest and most flavor intense I've ever had! Highly recommend!

This cocoa is the very best ! I wouldn’t use any other cocoa in anything I make or bake. Texture, taste and quality is all 5 star. People do notice the difference in everything you make with this cocoa.

Perfect way to boost the flavor in chocolate mousse without adding a bitter edge

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!

Makes for amazing brownies!

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)

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.

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.

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

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

I am extremely picky about the cocoa I use, both daily to drink and in cooking preparations. While Pernigotti was my favorite, this is reminiscent of the cocoa I buy in Italy and makes for excellent drinking and baking. I highly recommend it.

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!

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!!

As you know I recently purchased 2 of your 2lb bags of your Chef Shop cocoa. I LOVE making hot chocolate, almost every day. In regard to your recipe I want to pass along a suggestion that I stumbled on just before Christmas. While shopping at Trader Joes one of their holiday specials are Peppermint Chocolate bars infused with real peppermint oil. Breaking off a piece of the bar and mixing it into the hot chocolate mix gives a nice peppermint flavor to the hot chocolate, just subtle not overwhelming. Nice treat! Just thought I’d pass this along.

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!
