In my arsenal I have a well loved chocolate cake and am always asked for the recipe (even my daughter who doesn't like choc cake loves it!). I am willing to share but each time the comment comes back that it doesn't taste quite the same as when I make it. The reason - I always use Valhrona cocoa. I think the flavour shines through on even the most simple buttercream. There is nothing to replace it.
It actually came in a beautiful Valrhona box. And the cocoa is just the same as any other size. I don’t need to tell anyone how good it is. Very happy with my purchase from Gusta.
Rich , dark chocolate flavour. Happy with great service, shipped in a prompt & timely manner 👍
Bought this for hot chocolate. It's delicious, smooth, dark, rich, and not bitter. Beautiful reddish colour
Valrhona cocoa simply cannot be compared to any other cocoa. It is by far darker, and richer with a wonderful velvety finish both in baking and drinks. Thanks for supplying this superior product quickly and at a reasonable price.
