  • Two to three times the cocoa butter of most store brands, so it's two to three times as good!"
  • Use it in everything from cakes, to brownies, to granola. It’s definitely made a difference. Highly recommended
  • Produced in Europe and imported into the US by a Spanish company for high-end restaurants and bakeries.
  • With 22 to 24% cocoa butter, this is rich and luxurient.
  • "Amazing!"

 

The cocoa butter makes a difference.  This is magnificent dark cocoa! Once you try it, you'll never go back! 

It's as rich and intense as Ramstadt Breda Rich Dark Cocoa, but it is very distinctive, complex, and with mellow undertones. We don't use it all the time -- it's our "go-to" special occasion cocoa -- but when we use it, it's fantastic. 

You can spend more, but you won't find better. There is a reason that the best pastry chefs, bakers, and candy makers choose this cocoa. When the cost doesn't matter, try this dark cocoa. It's that good.

No doubt Belgium Cocoa

We haven't tried the Belgium Cocoa yet,....But we'll be using it in our Holiday Recipes soon. Based upon all the products we've bought over the years, we have "no doubt" this Cocoa will be great. Never have had a product yet, that wasn't most excellent !!!

Best Dutch cocoa!

I love this cocoa powder! I use it in everything from cakes, to brownies, to granola. It’s definitely made a difference in my baking. I highly recommend!

High quality but not exceptional

When I opened the package I could smell the quality of the cocoa. It is high quality, but when I baked a simple chocolate zucchini muffin it didn’t taste any different than the Hershey’s special dark cocoa I normally use. This recipe specifically calls for Dutch processed cocoa so I was hoping to get a wow factor from the Belgium cocoa, but I didn’t. Perhaps this cocoa powder is best for fancy desserts because it didn’t elevate the taste of my simple muffins. I’ll use it until it’s gone but I won’t be purchasing it again especially because I can get the same flavor with a cheaper powder.
