Chocolate and orange are always a match made in heaven but sometimes the orange peel can be overwhelming.
I spotted this dark brown chocolate icecream with lots of orange pieces in it so I went over and took a look.
It turned out to be Chocolate and orange nata de co co.
I have never liked nata de co co because the ones I have tried were really artificial in taste and texture (probably from China but surprisingly nata de co co originates from the Philippines).
The nata de co co in this icecream is infused with orange so I decided to try it as there certainly wouldn't be any orange peel here.
The taste of this icecream was so good, and the orange was quite natural without any orange bitter peel taste.
There was so much nata de co co in the scoop of icecream that every spoonful was divine with these big chunks of orange nata de co co, and I loved the chew in the icecream.
It was like eating molecular gastronomic pieces of orange jelly which was more chewy than normal because of the frozen texture.
I used to think nata de co co was young coconut meat pieces soaked in syrup but after googling it I was more than amazed to learn that it was fermented coconut water which gels through the production of microbial cellulose.
Microbial cellulose is also used in the Medical industry for tissue engineering, wound dressings etc.
