Callebaut Alkalised 'Extra Brute' Deep Dark Red Cocoa Powder (22-24% Fat), 1kg

As an avid baker, this is hands down the best cocoa powder I have ever used. The deep, dark color it gives to cakes and brownies is incredible, and the flavor is rich, intense, and complex without being overly bitter. Because it is alkalized (Dutch-processed), it dissolves beautifully into batters and liquids without clumping. The texture of my baked goods has improved significantly since switching to this brand. It is definitely more expensive than standard supermarket cocoa, but the professional quality is worth every single penny. If you take your baking seriously, you need this in your pantry.

One word: Divine. As a self confessed chocoholic, I'd eat chocolate for breakfast lunch and dinner. lol I'm not surprised this is the choice of chefs. It's awesome and so good in fact that it's hard for me not to put it in everything. On keto, it goes really well with Monkfruit to make sweet delicious hot or cold drinks, desserts and chocolate bars, oh and ice cream. It is rich and luxurious with that distinguishable chocolate taste you can only get from Belgium chocolate, you just can't beat that, it's heavenly. Not bitter at all of course because it's alkalised. When you open the bag, the aroma is just gorgeous. I kept this one in my basket because I was umming and ahhing over the cost of cocoa these days but knew this was the one I wanted to try. Hopefully it is brought back in stock as I would like to buy more. Only lasted almost 2 months in our household and so is nearly gone, I'm actually astonished by the fact it lasted 2 and not 1. :P

The best cocoa powder. It makes a big difference to chocolate cakes and puddings. My kids have cocoa for their bedtime drink each night and they really like this one.

Awesome flavour

Excellent quality and value. It is alkalised ("Dutch processed") and has acidity regulator E501 (Potassium Carbonate). I actually wanted true 100% cocoa but I will happily get through this 1kg bag before buying powdered Cacao.

It's a good quality product. Nice and rich.

There’s zero bitterness, just a deep chocolate flavour that makes hot chocolates taste genuinely luxurious. It also bakes beautifully, giving cakes a darker colour and a far better flavour than the usual supermarket brands. I won’t be buying any other cocoa powder after this.

This product is really good. It has increased in price since I last brought it by 16 pounds. However I brought a small tub of greens blacks coco powder and it was really poor quality compared to this one .
