Organic Natural Cocoa Powder, 20-22% Fat, is an ACO certified ingredient produced in the state-of-the-art facility in Switzerland using beans predominately from the Dominican Republic. The organic cocoa beans used are sustainably grown, ethically sourced and fairly traded. Natural cocoa powder is slightly acidic and lighter in colour than alkalized cocoa powder, containing more characteristics to that of raw cacao powder. This Organic Natural Cocoa Powder contains 20-22% cocoa butter content, which provides a richer flavour profile and a creamier mouthfeel making it a perfect option to use in various applications, including desserts and beverages.
