At Emkao Foods, we know that the best confections start with the highest-quality ingredients. That’s why we were thrilled to see Chef Deseree Lo, Top Chef Canada Season 10 Runner-Up, showcase our premium, single-origin cocoaon CTV News Live!
Elevating Confections with Premium Cocoa
On March 20th at 8:40 AM, Chef Deseree took to the CTV News kitchen to create a decadent Black Sesame Cacao Pudding with Brownies, highlighting how Emkao’s premium cocoa powder and cocoa butter bring out deep, rich flavors and a luxurious texture in her confections.
By using our sustainably sourced cocoa, she demonstrated how high-quality ingredients enhance every element of a dessert; from the smooth, velvety pudding to the perfectly fudgy brownies. The result? A masterpiece that balances bold flavors and showcases the true potential of artisanal chocolate-making.
Chef Deseree Lo’s Review of Emkao Foods
Beyond just taste, Chef Deseree was blown away by the purity and quality of Emkao’s cocoa products. Here’s what she had to say:
"I love my chocolate more than anyone else, but I always get pimples around my chin every time I eat any chocolate product. I got the chance to know and work with Emkao Foods, making tasty treats, and trust me, I ate a lot of brownies and drank plenty of hot cocoa! I have yet to get any reaction on my chin! It is a testament to the purity, preservative-free, and high quality of the cocoa products."
Her experience is a true testament to Emkao’s commitment to clean, sustainably sourced, and all-natural cocoa.
