Nero Nero 88% helps fight hunger cravings: try pairing it with 3 walnuts or 5 almonds, sources of essential fatty acids and fiber, which boost its satiating power.

A balanced treat

A square of Nero Nero 88% pairs wonderfully with ricotta — or Greek yogurt — to make a tasty, more balanced mousse. You'll also find in Autumn as an ingredient in special challenges on "Bake Off Italia" pastry competition on Real Time.

A guilt-free snack

Yes, because high-cocoa-percentage chocolate has the advantage of being a genuinely enjoyable comfort food. This recipe in particular, and this type of cocoa selected by Novi, is rich in nutrients like magnesium, known to support mood and overall wellbeing.

A workout ally

Extra dark chocolate can also be part of your pre-workout snack. Paired with nuts — like walnuts or almonds — a chocolate like Novi Nero Nero 88% Cocoa lets you increase your intake of flavonoids, plant pigments with antioxidant power.

Benefits of extra dark chocolate

Cocoa is often unfairly demonized for its calorie content. However, it's worth remembering that chocolate, when extra dark and of good quality (>85%), can benefit the body — improving cardiovascular health and the inflammation index (omega-6:omega-3 ratio*). This was shown in a study conducted with professional Serie A footballers (Genoa and Fiorentina), in collaboration with the University of Padua: daily consumption of Novi Nero Nero 88% Cocoa extra dark chocolate, rich in polyphenols (about 250mg/100g), lowered total cholesterol and LDL levels, improved inflammation markers, and kept the gut microbiota healthy.

*The AA:EPA ratio is the relationship between a class of Omega 6 (involved in the inflammatory response) and Omega 3 (which plays an anti-inflammatory role).
