Product Description Since 1860, Antico Pastificio Toscano Morelli has been making the very best wheat germ pasta with the best semolina. Today, the company is still family run and adhering to traditional techniques. One of their more unusual items is their cocoa pasta. It is made from durum wheat semolina (85.62%), cocoa powder (9.25%), wheat germ (3.42%), and sugar (1.71%). This combination of ingredients gives the penne rigate a lightly bitter cocoa flavor and a deep brown color. This pasta is savory, not sweet, and is often served with a light cream sauce with walnuts. Alternatively, top with sweet chocolate sauce and serve as a creative dessert.

Fine product, shipping cost for iGourmet is outrageous October 4, 2008 This cocoa pasta is a fine choice for certain specialized Italian dishes. The recipe that comes with it sounds very interesting. However we used it in a traditional Italian recipe with a wild boar sauce. As others have noted, this is NOT a sweet chocolate pasta. It has cocoa added and it's intended for savory dishes. I'd be glad to give it 5 stars except currently the only supplier seems to be iGourmet and they have truly huge shipping fees, which greatly increases the cost of an already pricey product.
