Cocoa powder is a fine dark brown powder from the defatted cake of cocoa beans, with an intense bitter-chocolate taste and aroma, coming natural (more acidic) and dutch-processed (milder, darker). It is used in baking (sponges, brownies, cakes, cookies), hot chocolate, creams, ganache, glaze, truffles, for dusting tiramisu and to tint dough.

Thick cocoa with cinnamon is true coziness in a cup, a drink that warms and provides a sense of comfort. Its history traces back to European traditions where cocoa was seen not just as a treat but as an elixir of vitality. The rich flavor of cocoa powder harmonizes with the delicate aroma of cinnamon, while the addition of starch gives the drink a velvety texture, making it thick and enveloping. The taste is sweet with a slight spicy note, and the addition of heated milk adds extra depth and softness. Perfect for cozy evenings, it pairs well with cookies or chocolate desserts. Served hot in a warmed cup, it retains heat and reveals all the aromas of the ingredients. This is not just a drink – it's a small journey into the world of enjoyment and tranquility.
