I rarely go to regular supermarkets anymore but I'm so glad I walked into a nearby Carrefour today. To my surprise, I found chocolate with a 100% cocoa content (a minimum of 99.75%, to be exact). At Carrefour! And it only cost me 2.35 euro for 100 grams! It must be my lucky day.
Anyway, the chocolate is produced by an Italian company called Sugar Company (how ironic), and the good stuff is called Cuorenero Classic Blend 100% Cocoa:

My dear coauthor Michael gave me a bag of organic cacao beans when I visited him in Marseille a couple of weeks ago. I've got into the habit of eating around 6 cacao beans every day now but, unless I can find that stuff (which obviously is the purest of the purest) here in Italy, I will definitely become a regular Sugar Company customer.
Enjoy the endorphins!
Un bacio nero,

I am a Finnish girl living in Portugal writing about my adventures in the World of Food. I have dedicated my blog to gluten- and sugar-free recipes. Many of my recipes are also dairy-free, lactose-free, egg-free, grain-free, vegan and/or vegetarian. I use organic or locally sourced seasonal ingredients whenever possible. All my recipes are tagged with the appropriate -free labels (e.g. dairy-free), so that you can quickly and easily find the recipes that suit your individual needs.
