Cocoa

The organically cultivated bean of the Criollo tree (“The Noble”), which is only harvested in limited amounts and is of exceptional quality, forms the basis of our premium cocoa. This tree is highly sensitive and requires attentive care from experienced workers. During its processing, the cocoa is less degreased than common cocoa varieties and still contains approximately 20% cocoa butter (compared to 10% in common cocoa). Hence, its taste is much richer and creamier. The result is a gourmet cocoa with a deliciously warm character and the promise of a unique taste experience.

Preparation of Cocoa:

Quick: heat 250 ml of milk, put approximately 4–5 teaspoons of cocoa in a cup and stir in some of the hot milk, then add the rest of the milk. Traditional: heat milk, add cocoa powder and stir with a whisk, let simmer for a few minutes. Light: replace half of the milk by water. Generally valid: add sugar according to taste, for added creaminess add cream or crème fraîche.
