There is chocolate and then there is... chocolate! This is true for cocoa also (see pic). On Valentine's Day we recommend the best quality only...
Chocolate is the fastest way to your lover's heart. Some tips when choosing the raw material for your dessert on this special day:
• Skip the shelf with baking ingredients and go for quality chocolate from the exclusive, expensive shelf.
• The shorter the list of ingredients, the finer the chocolate. Good chocolate contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, and not much else...
• Cocoa powder is ground cocoa mass and this, also, comes in different qualities. Fresh, high-quality cocoa is a deep red-brown – not grey-brown – color. The flavor is clear and aromatic, even without added sugar.
