The recipe

Three elements,one balance

None of the three should overpower the others. That balance is the work behind the recipe.

Coffee

It brings bitterness and depth. The dose is calibrated to stay in the background, never to dominate the chocolate.

Illanka chocolate

A single-origin Valrhona couverture chosen for its fruity notes and long finish, answering the coffee without duplicating it.

Hazelnut

Roasted Piedmont hazelnuts add crunch and a rounded richness that softens the whole.
Beneath those three notes, organic spelt flour remains the common thread running through every Opaleia creation.

The story

What we set out to createwith Mokao

Coffee and chocolate are natural partners on paper. In a biscuit, the balance is more delicate: coffee can quickly become dry and bitter, while chocolate can turn overly sweet. Mokao grew out of repeated trials to keep both at the same level, with neither taking over.
The choice of chocolate resolved that tension. Illanka is a single-origin Valrhona couverture with fruitier notes and a longer finish than a conventional dark chocolate. Where an intensely cocoa-driven chocolate would compete with the coffee’s bitterness, Illanka answers it.
The flour is what makes this an Opaleia cookie. Organic einkorn has a clear, almost rustic cereal character that standard wheat flour does not. It bridges the roasted coffee and toasted hazelnut notes, while giving the cookie enough texture to remain present behind the inclusions.
A cookie to enjoy slowly, rather than one that disappears without notice.
Like every creation from the Maison, Mokao is made by hand by Carole in small batches. From weighing the flours to packing each biscuit, the same hand follows every step.

Tasting notes

A distinct progression from coffee to hazelnut.

Opening

Coffee arrives first, dry and aromatic, without excessive bitterness.

Heart

Illanka chocolate follows with its fruity notes and melting texture.

Finish

Roasted hazelnut extends the tasting experience and leaves a rounded cereal note.

Balance

Petit épeautre connects the roasted coffee, the fruity chocolate and the rounded hazelnut.

Damien Rolland

Le café est bien dosé. On garde aussi le goût du chocolat noir derrière.

Mathieu Colin

Je l’ai surtout aimé tiédi. Le café devient plus présent et la noisette suit bien derrière.

Claire Vasseur

Belle note café

Le café ressort bien sans rendre le cookie amer. Le chocolat noir garde de la rondeur et la noisette apporte un bon contraste.

Julien Caron

Bon équilibre

Je craignais un goût café trop appuyé, mais le dosage est juste. La noisette caramélisée fait bien le lien avec le chocolat.

Marion Lefort

Celui-ci change un peu

On sort du cookie classique. Le café donne du caractère et le chocolat noir suit bien derrière.

Thomas Giraud

Réussi tiédi

Passé deux minutes au four, il gagne en parfum. Le centre devient plus souple et le café ressort davantage.
