a new, highly innovative and totally natural confectionery matrix with a unique taste.
KIKKO is a new, highly innovative and totally natural confectionery matrix with a unique taste. The best varieties of coffee are its basic ingredient so as to guarantee a full, rich and distinctive taste.
An absolute novelty all over the world, the product is covered by patents to protect its composition, production process, name, logo and applications, thus allowing it to be marketed worldwide, safe from imitations and substitutes.
The manufacturing process is very similar to that of chocolate and features the same stages: blending, conching, tempering and moulding. The only difference is the micronization pre-treatment of roasted coffee: thanks to an innovative technique it enables coffee to be pulverized in particles so fine that they pass unnoticed by consumers and at the same time release full flavours and tastes.
Its production procedures make it possible for KIKKO to be prepared by every chocolate maker, thus simplifying the organization of worldwide production, with a reduction in logistics and distribution costs.
In the shape of a coffee bean can also be offered as a freebie in coffee bars together with a cup of espresso: eaten just after having a good cup of coffee, it strengthens the taste and prolongs its flavour and pleasant sensations.
But besides in association with the hot drink, KIKKO may also be a valid alternative to it, to be appreciated by everybody in any place and at any time. In case of fatigue or when you need maximum watchfulness, it works as a tasteful and useful support thanks to the action of caffeine.
KIKKO may also be a pleasant welcome gift for hotel chains, railway companies and airlines, or a delicious and original business gift on holy days and anniversaries.
KIKKO, like chocolate, is suitable for the preparation of several confectionery products with different texture, softness and shape:
- Nuggets in the shape of coffee beans
- Comfits like "Smarties" and the like
- Bars, lingots, sticks
- Dragées
- Creams, truffles, pralines
- Snacks
- Moreover, it is also suitable to be used as a semi-finished product in several types of preparations, such as ice creams, cakes, biscuits, puddings, and sweets for anniversaries and special occasions.
A long journey
The fundamental ingredient of KIKKO is the seed contained in the berries of coffee finest varieties (Coffea arabica). After a long journey started in the most unspoilt places of earth, the seed becomes a precious raw material, rich in flavours and beneficial substances.
It all starts with the loving care given to the bean during its development and maturation on the plant by the farmers of the tropical area, for whom coffee is the unique chance to work and earn a living.
After picking, which is a strictly manual procedure aimed at choosing only fully mature berries, several processing stages are carried out in the relevant Country of origin in order to transform seeds into dry green beans.
A long travel through the sea brings the beans to Italy, where they undergo roasting, a critical process skilfully and passionately carried out in order to magnify and enhance the aromatic properties of the beans.
KIKKO's journey ends in a modern confectionery company where the precious raw material is transformed into a praline that preserves and offers the same taste and fragrance of the best espresso.
Product, recipe, processing technique and logo are patented in order to manage production and marketing in total safety.
The secret of KIKKO's quality is the simplicity of its composition, the high quality of its absolutely natural raw materials, the balanced dosing and refined processing technique that combines the principles of traditional craftsmanship with the advantages of modern technology.
Besides coffee of the finest cultivars of the arabica species, there are only two additional raw materials: cane sugar and cocoa butter, two ingredients that best enhance the aromatic components of coffee.
An air-tight package preserves the substances responsible for aroma and taste, including the volatile ones, and prevents access to air and moisture, which may trigger oxidation and degradation processes, thus allowing everybody to appreciate the sensations and virtues of real espresso at any time and in any place.
With its full, smooth and velvety body KIKKO melts between tongue and palate, gradually conquering every taste bud. Sweet, acidulous and bitter sensations rejoice and blend into an intense and persistent, strongly aromatic taste with flowery, fruity and spicy notes
KIKKO IS NOT CHOCOLATE WITH COFFEE AROMA, IT IS REAL COFFEE!
It does not contain the slightest part of cocoa mass, the typical raw material of every type of chocolate.
KIKKO simply is a new, totally natural confectionery matrix, based on micronized coffee obtained through a technique that enables it to be pulverized in particles so fine that they pass unnoticed by consumers, and at the same time release in your mouth all the typical molecules of the best roasted coffee.
You do not need hot water to extract the principles and aroma of coffee, as instead is the case of espresso and coffee-based drinks, because KIKKO already contains them all and makes them available without further alchemies.
The lipidic component of KIKKO carries over 700 aromatic substances contained in roasted coffee to every part of the oral cavity, thus guaranteeing that their persistence lasts longer if compared to sipping a cup of espresso.
