Noir Intense & Wagyu Beef

Noir Intense & Wagyu Beef

While we tend to reach for cacao powder mainly for sweet applications, cacao powder is naturally sugar-free and can be an extraordinary addition to savoury dishes, balancing and enhancing flavours effectively and adding new intrigue to standard dishes. Here, Chef Jacky Lung uses Cacao Barry Noir Intense Cacao Powder to offset the fatty richness of Wagyu beef with incredible results. When using Noir Intense Cacao Powder, be careful not to overheat it, as this will intensify its bitter flavour beyond what you may prefer.
