## Features

- Deliciously Dutch Processed: We use only 100% authentic cacao beans for our black cocoa powder. This European style of cocoa, neutralizes the pH of cocoa and changes its appearance anywhere from a neutral brown or reddish tint to a strong black color. By balancing its acidity, dutched cocoa's flavor profile becomes a smooth, mellow, and earthy flavor.
- A Little Goes A Long Way: Use this dark dutch cocoa sparingly as a COLORING AGENT to make the darkest chocolate cake or cookies you've ever seen. For best results, use black cocoa in combination with brown dutch-process cocoa.
- Unbelievable Benefits: The Cocoa Trader's Dutch Processed Cacao Powder is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium - Eating chocolate just became a whole lot healthier!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I be using this product to enhance the flavor of my brown cocoa powder, or would an espresso powder work better?**
A: According to the product packaging itself: "It is not typically used for flavor.  Use brown cocoa instead"  Is printed directly on the package, under the nutrition info.  (See product image #6 above.)  It gave my cookies a taste somewhere between "burnt" and "too much baking soda".  Quite dark, though!

**Q: Can you mix this with regular natural cocoa for example 1/4 dutch process with 1/4 cup natural cocoa?**
A: You can, butbfor me, it's way too dark. I just made coffee that way and have icecream going. I'm hoping I didn't waste my ingredients. Next time, I'll be trying a ratio somewhere around 1/8 dark, maybe 1/8 cocao butter, and 6/8 natural chocolate. I'll be eyeballing it in 1/4 cup measuring cups though. Hope this helps someone.

**Q: my recipe calls for dutch processed cocoa will this be to strong?  should I mix a teaspoon of regular cocoa?**
A: Black cocoa is not stronger, it's just darker colored. It also has a slightly different flavor, than cocoa that is lighter colored—but the difference is subtle and it's a good flavor. I don't think there will be any problem. Dutch Processed cocoa is less acid than "natural" cocoa. Both are good, it just depends on what you want. Recipes with Natural Cocoa often add a bit of baking soda to counteract the acidity. This is not necessary if you use Dutch Processed Cocoa.

**Q: Does anyone else's bag have a sticker that says "NOT to be used as a flavor agent...use only to add dark color to bake goods..."?**
A: Mine has that statement but is not a sticker - it is part of the print on the package.  It says that for flavor to "use brown cocoa instead", which seems to strange to me and unexpected.  This make me think that I should return it but perhaps I should try it anyway since many have said that it does have a good flavor (?)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deepest, Darkest, MOST delicious cocoa!
*by K***C on September 22, 2025*

Excellent quality, mixes well, perfect appearance it is definitely is the darkest black cocoa, I have ever used! This has a delicious smell and taste of a red velvet chocolate cake. The cupcakes and buttercream frosting I'm making are going to be a hit at the Halloween Party.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OUTSTANDING TRUE BLACK COCOA!!!
*by S***E on September 6, 2025*

I am an avid baker who has been baking for over half a century. My husband loves dark chocolate, so I love to soothe his sweet tooth...lol. The Cocoa Trader got several good reviews so I thought I would give it a whirl. I stumbled across a truly decadent Midnight Black Chocolate cake recipe with Black buttercream frosting.The recipe itself was in need of tweaking only where volume is concerned. The taste, moistness, color & flavor was spot on!!! Many people were complaining about being able to achieve a truly black chocolate cake & frosting. The Cocoa Trader came through with flying colors!!! The frosting needed to be tweaked for volume & a little tweaking for the black color, but again, it passed mustard!I am truly happy with my purchase & although this product is pricy it's worth it's weight in gold. I highly recommend buying this product. You won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yummy and pretty
*by P***0 on September 10, 2025*

Recommended by a fellow baker who does tons of test baking. Quality and texture and darkness of the cocoa is amazing.
