Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had been eating Valrhona chocolate for years when I first ordered their cocoa powder. I of course had very high expectations. I love it; I have gotten my best friend "addicted" to it.
It is somewhat unexpected. When I first received it it smelled of green wood. Even hot cocoa smelled of green wood, and I was puzzled. I found out that I needed to adjust my recipe for hot cocoa a bit: I used to drink it with no sugar, no vanilla, whole milk. Valrhona is so powerful and rich that even I like to have the tip of a tea spoon of sugar in it. Adding a vanilla bean is great. Great with half&half. It is not overpowered by orange extract or almond extract.
Great for chocolate cookies too.
This cocoa is "dutch" processed, which means that it's acidity is lowered during process of obtaining the cocoa powder from the beans. This is general advice: when you read a recipe you have to make sure whether it calls for "regular" or "dutch" processed cocoa powder, otherwise it might not work.
Of course this cocoa is for pastry of the highest quality (...)also sold by Amazon in which you can find the most amazing recipes, but I use it to make excellent what I do everyday.
Enjoy!

This cocoa powder is among the richest, darkest "dutched" cocoa you can find. It will take your flourless chocolate cakes and brownies to new, more decadent heights. It is the result of the famous Valrhona way with cocoa and their virtual monopoly over the best beans available. Valrhona is considered by many chefs and gourmands around the world to produce the finest chocolate that contains no added fat or butter oil, resulting in less calories than most chocolate.
