The cocoa powder is made from an Italian chocolate maker and contains the flavor of Dutch cocoa and vanilla. It has less fat removed than other cocoas, making it extremely rich and flavorful (which is why Garten’s recipes are so, so good).

“This is the best cocoa powder I’ve ever used,” one person wrote, adding that they can’t tell a difference between this and the original Pernigotti Cocoa. “This is so rich, and the hint of vanilla is wonderful. It elevates even simple dishes such as brownies and hot cocoa.”


Another said, “This is an excellent, all-purpose, full-flavored cocoa powder. It contains a touch of vanilla which is perfect for a rich and luscious cup of morning hot chocolate, and it bakes up into a delicious chocolate cake.” They also add theirs to the bottom of cake pans or in brownie recipes. It has many uses for chocolate lovers! 


Now that it’s hot chocolate season (!!), you’ll definitely want a bag of this high-quality hot cocoa in your pantry. It also makes for a perfect gift for the foodies in your life.

This cocoa powder is made with Dutch processed cocoa and vanilla, for a rich, chocolatey taste that is unparalleled. This is Ina Garten’s preferred brand for her desserts, and it also works extremely well mixed with milk for hot cocoa. Store in the bag it comes in or in an airtight container, so it will be fresh whenever you are in the mood for baking.
