Ingredient

dark chocolate

Among the many types of chocolate, dark chocolate is probably the one most appreciated by adults for its high content of cocoa and polyphenols, which translates into greater healthiness than the one perhaps most loved by children, namely milk chocolate. . Dark chocolate is generally characterized by a percentage of cocoa which is approximately equal to 70 percent, and is used in a large number of preparations also thanks to the fact that it gives a touch of bitter taste, and furthermore, it has a compactness and perfect crunchiness to best highlight certain contrasts between ingredients in some recipes.

Use in cooking

Dark chocolate is a very versatile ingredient in the kitchen: you can eat it alone, or use it to create more or less complex desserts, including in combination with fruit, as well as with coffee and ice cream.

Preservation

Dark chocolate can be stored without any problem in an environment with a cool temperature, humidity below 65 percent, protected from light and foreign odors.
