Get ready to make the best brownies, the best chocolate cake, and the best cookies known to any oven on the planet! This dark cocoa powder will make gelato and ice cream superb. 

Our Dutch process Cocoa Powder has 22% to 24% cocoa butter with real vanilla. (not vanillan)

As seen in Saveur Magazine (Saveur 100) and Chocolatier Magazine.

ingredients: cocoa powder, vanilla 
 

This Dutch process dark unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. We have removed less fat from our cocoa (22-24% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor. This wonderful Dutch cocoa powder has a touch of ground vanilla bean. Our regulars know what a great cocoa this is!

This "service pack" of ChefShop cocoa powder, essentially a thick zip-lock type bag, is meant for commercial users like baristas and gelato makers, which is why the packaging is Plain Jane with a label. Like much of the foods and ingredients that go to the back of the house, the contents are more important than being pretty. 

And price relative to quantity is also a crucial part of the commercial kitchen. So that is why we adopted this bag of cocoa, for quality of product and for value. 

And that's what we have here in this bag of gourmet cocoa powder. The resealable bag keeps the cocoa powder fresh and it can last a good long time. Now I am not proud of this, but I have found bags of this cocoa powder hidden away in the cupboard, years later, (I can tell by the label) and though nowhere near as good as fresh, it still works and does its job. Store in a dark cool place (just remember it is there) and you are all set.

Preparation and General Uses of Cocoa Powder

ChefShop Dutch Process Cocoa Powder is ready to satisfy in drinks and desserts, like a rich Chocolate Sorbet , or Super Dense Chocolate Brownies. Buy unsweetened cocoa powder and add with sugar (to taste) to hot milk, and the aroma will transport you to breezy autumn days in the Piazza della Signoria.

Make something good for yourself! Try mixing condensed milk, cocoa powder and melted butter together, then add crushed up Effie's biscuits. Scoop spoonfuls and roll into balls. Cover with crushed nuts; chill and then eat.


Ordering Information
