Nicolas Berger Vietnamese Cocoa Paste 100%

Nicolas Berger Vietnamese Cocoa Paste 100% captures the depth and clarity of flavour that define Nicolas Berger’s bean‑to‑bar craftsmanship. As a master chocolatier and cocoa‑bean roaster, Berger personally oversees each stage of production, from ethical bean sourcing to slow, origin‑specific roasting, ensuring every paste reflects the true identity of its terroir. His method relies on traditional techniques, without additives or shortcuts, producing pure cocoa ingredients tailored to the needs of pastry chefs and chocolatiers seeking precision and authenticity.
Sourced from high‑quality Vietnamese cocoa beans known for their vibrant aromatic profile, this paste delivers intense cocoa character, with natural bitterness, pronounced fruit acidity, and a clean, lingering finish. Its uncompromising purity gives chefs complete creative control, making it ideal for applications where chocolate intensity must shine, such as ganache, sorbets, ice cream, sauces, pate de fruit, and high‑end plated desserts.
Berger’s long‑standing relationships with responsible cooperatives underpin the paste’s consistency and integrity. These partnerships support sustainable agriculture and meticulous post‑harvest handling, ensuring that each batch expresses the bean’s origin with clarity and depth, values central to Berger’s philosophy and the expectations of professional kitchens.
