Kacoa is the name under which Makonnelli produces chocolate couvertures for professional use. As with any other Makonnelli product line, this is made with single origin beans, that offers different intensity options, and delivers healthier components. 

Single origin chocolate coverage:

Makonnelli puts a lot of effort into our single origin bean selection. We also rely on controlled fermentation, drying, and roasting, which allows us to deliver chocolate couvertures without altering the seeds’ flavors and aroma. 

The right option for every intensity level: 

Kacoa includes three types of chocolate couverture: intense, mid, and mild. Each one of them is made to offer flexibility and facilitate creative projects for any pastry or confectionery professional who uses our products. They can be used separately or combined. 

Components preserving the benefits of the cocoa:

When we produce our Kacoa chocolate couverture, we use cocoa butter extracted from the first, pure pressing of the selected beans — no additional fat is added. And since cocoa butter is known for its antioxidant properties, you can rest assured that Makonnelli’s products are healthier than many other options in the market.
