Today, Valrhona is the brand of chocolate and cocoa powder used by many pastry chefs and chocolatiers. With four iconic Rowntree's® sub brands, Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Jelly Tots® and Randoms®, we pride ourselves on variety and something to suit everyone.
A very distinct stage in the processing of the cocoa beans is treating the beans with alkali, which results in Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Every sharing bag contains a mixture of five fantastic flavours: blackcurrant, lemon, strawberry, lime, and orange.Some of these are Antonio Bachour, named Best Pastry Chef in the world at the 2018 Best Chef Awards, Spanish Pastry Chef Oriol Balaguer winner of Grand Prix au Chef Pâtisser, 2018, and Chef Ron Ben-Israel , owner of Ben-Israel Cakes, a well-known couture cake studio in Manhattan. Users describe it as being the creamiest of all Ghirardelli powder cocoa types, very well suited for decadent chocolate desserts. Obtaining cocoa powder is a long and complex process, as it requires several stages: harvesting the pods, fermenting the pulp (also known as “sweating”), fermenting and drying the beans, then roasting them. The Majestic Premium Cocoa Powder has a high cocoa butter content (20-22%) which gives it a very silky texture, as it is obtained from alkalized nib cocoa. The French company was established in 1922 by Pastry Chef Albéric Guironnet, who wanted to produce the best artisan chocolate, balancing flavors and texture.
This is partially the reason for which professional chefs recommend Dutch-processed cocoa for desserts that don’t require baking (such as dusting cakes or truffles), and natural cocoa for products that require baking. Therefore, there is no actual evidence that raw cocoa has a higher nutritional value than roasted cocoa. One of the few companies with a very strict cocoa bean selection process for making cocoa powder and chocolate, Ghirardelli controls every aspect of their chocolate manufacturing process, by processing the cocoa beans, and producing chocolate and cacao solids, like cocoa powder. The powder is rich in flavonol antioxidants, substances that turn it into a superfood, but are partially lost when the cocoa powder is processed.
Today, Rowntree's® remain the nation's fruity favourite, with more single tubes of Fruit Pastilles sold than any other fruit confectionery product in the UK. Obtained from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, also known as “the chocolate tree”, cocoa powder is a solid that results from grinding the seeds after the cocoa butter is extracted. It has a very rich taste and gives a velvety texture to any dessert but without the bitterness usually associated with such intense-tasting cocoa. As it has a neutral pH, when combined with baking soda, it will stop the batter from rising, keeping it moist and fudgy. Recommended by international chefs such as French chef Philippe Marand, ambassador of Lenôtre in premiere chocolaterie and pastry events and Belgian chefErik Van Der Veken, Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder is also well suited for high-end bonbons and truffles.
Along with his brother, Joseph, and French confectioner August Claude Gaget, they developed the delicious taste of Rowntree’s ® in 1881. A natural cocoa powder, non-alkalized and unsweetened, Cadbury Bournville Cocoa is suited for vegetarians and made in compliance with Fairtrade Standards (requirements specific to cocoa producers and traders). For example, Pastry Chef Michael Kitun from Naples Sailing and Yacht Club in Florida recommends using Dutch-processed cocoa for a flourless chocolate cake, which remains moist after baking. A Dutched cocoa, Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder is recommended by its producer for mousses, creams, ice-creams, sorbets, confectionery coverings, and decorating.For more than 130 years these delicious chewy sweets have been making days more colourful with their irresistibly fruity taste and mouth-watering texture.
