The Pavoni KA364 is a real standout. The depth of the black is superb, far richer than many others I’ve tested, and the fact it’s E171-free is a massive plus for any forward-thinking kitchen. It melts down beautifully and holds its colour without any separation, making it incredibly reliable for intricate mould work. This is a proper kitchen staple for anyone serious about their craft.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Chocolate Box," a boutique chocolatier in the heart of York, was looking to refine their signature collection. They needed a black cocoa butter that could provide a flawless, deep colour for their intricate moulded chocolates without streaking or fading.
"We switched to the Pavoni KA364 and the difference was immediate. The colour is so intense and the finish is brilliantly glossy. Our 'Midnight Velvet' bonbons have never looked better, and our customers have definitely noticed the step up in quality."
Robert Davies – Owner & Head Chocolatier
The switch resulted in a more streamlined decoration process and a 15% increase in sales for their signature collection in the first quarter of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting It Ready
- Gently melt the cocoa butter in the microwave in short 15-second bursts, stirring in between.
- Alternatively, use a bain-marie, ensuring no water comes into contact with the cocoa butter.
- For best results, aim for a working temperature of around 28-32°C for optimal fluidity.
- Always ensure your moulds and tools are perfectly clean and dry before application.
Keeping It Perfect
- Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
- Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain its quality and prevent contamination.
- If you melt more than you need, you can allow it to cool and solidify, ready to be re-melted next time.

Explore more from PavoniWhy Being 'E171-Free' Gives You a Competitive Edge
You’ve probably seen 'E171-Free' popping up more often, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? E171, or Titanium Dioxide, is a chemical whitening and brightening agent that was commonly used in food colourings. However, due to changing regulations and growing consumer awareness about additives, it's being phased out across the UK and Europe. Choosing an E171-free product like this Pavoni coloured cocoa butter isn't just about compliance; it's about trust.
Think of it like choosing free-range eggs over battery-farmed; it sends a clear message about your commitment to quality and transparency. By using ingredients without these controversial additives, you're creating a 'cleaner label' product that appeals to health-conscious customers. It future-proofs your menu and shows you're ahead of the curve, building a reputation for thoughtful, high-quality sourcing that goes beyond just taste and presentation.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Chocolatiers: For creating sleek, modern bonbons and chocolate bars with a dramatic, high-gloss finish.
- Luxury Cake Designers: Ideal for adding sharp, edible black details and airbrushed effects to bespoke wedding and celebration cakes.
- High-End Patisseries: Essential for producing consistent, top-quality desserts where visual presentation is as important as taste.
