Equal Exchange, Can Baking Cocoa 8 Ounce

Love this cocoa for baking. Creates rich decadent desserts. Been using it for months, amazing good quality and fairly priced. Not to mention it's ethically sourced so it's a HUGE plus. I've reordered this for months on end everytime I'm done with a container.

Rich and delicious

This is some really, really tasty cocoa! It is unsweetened and made for your baking and candy making. Of course you can whip up hot chocolates by adding sugar and your own compliments of ingredients. But, lets just talk cocoa a moment. Hershey's is your basic store brand that was a go to for me for a long while, simply because not much else was ever out there. It's good. But a bit bitter. It has a slight Hershey bitter aftertaste that is almost a brand thing to your palette. This? Is fine, nearly sweet by virtue of being so good quality cocoa. Definitely heads and shoulders above Hershey's style cocoas! If you are a particular fan to a certain brand, you'll probably pick up subtle differences in the flavor. I've tried a few other brands once I got access to places like Whole Foods or World Market and have to say, the Equal Exchange is my favorite I've tried so far. It's also right on the price!

This is my favorite brand of cocoa powder. I loved the taste, and I am also a big fan of the fact that it is fair trade. I read an article once where a young boy who had been forced into child labor on cocoa farms was interviewed, and he mentioned how he felt like every time someone was eating chocolates produced from farms like his, he felt like they were eating his flesh. Made my cry, and made me think of things in a new light. I'm not always perfect in my purchasing, but that is why I try to go fair trade on my chocolates and cocoa powder when I can. And I have often found those items have a superior taste. Not always, but often. And this cocoa powder is no exception, I find it to be worth the higher price, and when I forget to purchase it in my local store, and can't get back out, I love that it can be found on Amazon.

I make a lot of Keto desserts and need a quality unsweetened cocoa powder. This one fits the bill perfectly. It's versatile and blends well in my receipes. I even use it for hot chocolate (almond milk, monk fruit sweetener, and cocoa). Arrived in perfect condition, no dents to the can. So I'm happy. Give it a try!

FIRST TIME USING THIS PRODUCT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT. WILL BUY AGAIN A+
