Black Cocoa Powder - 1 Lb

This cocoa is very good, slightly less bitter which makes it seem “sweeter “

I went through the 1 pound container already and ordered the 2.5 pound. Great to use in black chocolate cake and cupcakes. I also used it to make black buttercream frosting successfully. Tastes great. My family said the cake (for a birthday) and the cupcakes (for Halloween) were decadent and delicious, some of the best they've ever tasted. My only warning would be to to sift before using as it tends to form clumps, and is a bit lumpy right out of the container.

This is simply the best ever. Last a long time in cupboard, stable, very decadent and tasty.

I regularly make banana smoothies with cocoa powder and wanted to try with a darker variety like this. It came out just fine with good flavor using 3 tablespoons to 2 bananas, some raw coconut sugar, and a full tray of ice. This makes a very filling amount, not black but still has the impression of dark chocolate that I wanted.

Taste is quite good but is difficult to mix unless in a countertop blender

I bought this kind of on a dare to myself, and boy, am I ever glad I did. I generally don't like the Dutch-processed cocoas nearly as much as I like the natural ones, but I'm willing to make an exception in this case. When I first opened the container, I was enveloped by an almost creamy, velvety cocoa aroma which was not at all cloying (I've had that happen with a lot of the lower-quality cocoa powders). This is cocoa distilled down to its essence. I found a recipe for fudge black cocoa brownies online and made a batch, and I'll definitely be doing that again. As many times as I can. This cocoa powder has it all - scent, taste, and the most incredible mouthfeel as well. I was afraid that the brownies would come out tasting scorched, but they were just(!) sinfully good. I would recommend this cocoa to anyone, but especially to people who have trouble with foods that taste too sweet. I could always add more sugar next time, but I don't think I'll bother; the amount in the recipe is enough to eliminate the bitterness and still allow the cocoa's amazing deep flavor to shine through. If you'be never encountered black cocoa before, please give this product a try!

Excellent

Love this cocoa!I use for all my Oreo themed baked goods creations and get great compliments!Just the right amount of dark chocolate flavor - but delicious and smooth not bitter tasting.It is VERY dark (yes, could be considered black) - and if you have white marble counters like I do - be aware of this, lol!I always run it through a sieve into my recipes because like all cocoa, it clumps.I will have to order the larger container next time - my recent conversion trials of an Oreo brownie recipe to a vegan version - are using it up fast!
