User questions & answers

Question:	Has Hersheys changed their cocoa too? The milk chocolate candy bars do not taste the same anymore and doesn't melt as fast as it used to
Answer:	The nutrition facts label on our Rodelle Dutch Processed Baking Cocoa Cacao lists 1 g of fat per tablespoon (6 g) serving. Please note, our packaging is different from what is pictured here so I'm not certain whether this is exactly the same product inside or not.
Question:	Is this a tin or made of plastic
Answer:	You can find the percentage of cocoa butter (fat) from the nutrition info on the back. Just divide the fat per serving by the serving size. The serving size at the top of the label is 6 grams, and each serving has 1 g of total fat. So 1/6 is 0.166 which, is 16.6%, which rounds to about 17%. From what I've read, most of the cocoa butter is removed when making the chocolate liquor and then the cocoa powder. But as far as I know, the remaining fat in the powder is still cocoa butter from the bean and not added fat or another type of fat.So the 17% fat in this cocoa powders is probably all cocoa butter. Hershey's Cocoa Powder that I've bought is 10-13% cocoa butter, which is about average I believe. Rodelle says of this cocoa, "It contains one of the highest levels of cocoa butter on the market, ensuring superior flavor." I've seen cocoa powder with 22-24 percent fat, so Rodelle's description is somewhat of an exaggeration. And while other cocoa powder brands put the percentage in the description, Rodelle just wants you to believe their description without printing the cocoa fat content on their label.
Question:	What is the ratio of dutched to natural cocoa
Answer:	Hi mmbrownie,The label did change, however the product is the same as before!Please feel free to give us a call or email if you have any questions in the future.Thank you,Rodelle, [email protected]
Question:	Differences between "Natural Unsweetened" and "Special Dark" varieties
Answer:	Yes, it is not raw cocoa powder which can be somewhat acidic with off tasting acids like acetic acid. There are two main methods to balance the raw cocoa that makes it taste better to most people. Dutch processed cocoa uses an alkali to neutralize the acids. Rodelle Baking Cocoa is Dutch processed with alkali (baking soda is an alkali). Milk chocolates are made by adding processed milk products that are alkaline. Most chocolate is neutralized in some way. Rodelle Baking Cocoa is high quality with great flavor. I hope this helps... Dr. A. Sefl - certified chocoholic -

Truffle Dessert Brownie Recipe

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Grease bottom of 9-inch square baking pan.

2. Melt butter over low heat. Add cocoa and 1 cup sugar; stir well. Remove from heat; cool about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and vanilla. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

3. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form; gradually fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

4. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are firm (center will be slightly soft). Cool completely.

5. Refrigerate about 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar. Makes 16 servings.

• 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.

• Ready To Use: Our cocoa powder dissolves easily in hot liquids, making it ready to use when you are. Whip up your favorite treats for friends and family in no time.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the actual nutrition information for this? 10g carbs, 5g protein, and 2.5g fat is 82.5 calories, not
Answer:	There are 12 pouches in the box
Question:	How long does this cocoa stay fresh? They don't seem to offer a batch with an expiration date past
Answer:	Hi HJO - Our pouches contain aluminum sandwiched between two layers of plastic, to ensure our products are as handy for parents as possible, as it keeps our organic food fresh. The aluminum never comes into direct contact with the food, to ensure it’s safe for little tummies. Both layers of plastic have been chosen to be safe with food. The pouches do not contain any Bisphenol A (BPA) or Phthalates. The aluminum used is BPA free as well, and our caps and ‘straws’ are made from PE plastic, which is very common in food use and has served this type of packaging for many years. We hope that helps keep your mind at rest when feeding your little ones.
Question:	I am familiar with Blommer's and they have many different classifications of black cocoa. Is this the Sudan Dutch
Answer:	Bought 2 boxes, one is 11Jan2015, another is 13Jan2015
Question:	So the picture on this listing is accurate and that is the color of the "Jet Black" cocoa? It looks more like a sudan dutch to me
Answer:	You should adjust the way you press the sprayer. I find that if I press it really hard and quick I get a wide spray instead of a stream.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the ghirardelli majestic premium cocoa powder the same as in the 8 ounce ghirardelli chocolate unsweetened cocoa pouch
Answer:	No. The 8-oz pouch is "regular" chocolate powder. This is Dutch-processed. It is much darker in color, has a higher fat-content, and is much "richer" tasting.
Question:	is this unsweetened
Answer:	Yes. This is unsweetened cocoa powder.
Question:	Is this natural or dutch processed cocoa powder
Answer:	Dutch processed cocoa powder
Question:	What is the difference between this product and the 100% unsweetened cocoa powder (8oz pouch) by Ghirardelli? Why would you you use one over the other
Answer:	The packets contain natural (non-alkalized) cocoa powder, which is naturally acidic and its flavor a bit on the bitter and fruity side. Some baking recipes call for this type of cocoa, but for some may not be preferable for making hot chocolate, mocha, or other non-baking applications. Alkalization or Dutch Processing" raises the pH, which smooths out the sour and bitter flavor undertones, improves its dispersion in liquids, and gives it a darker color. The process also reduces, but does not eliminate the flavanoid (antioxidant) content, if this is important to you. Nib alkalization is a more expensive process than powder alkalization, but typically results in a better flavor.

Product description

GHIRARDELLI HERITAGE, SINCE 1852



In 1849, during the California Gold Rush, Italian-born Domingo Ghirardelli moved to America and opened a store in a mining camp. After discovering the miners were starved for luxuries and needed something to spend their gold dust on, he started stocking chocolate delicacies. In 1852, the enterprising immigrant founded a confectionery shop in San Francisco, which eventually became the modern-day Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. Today, Ghirardelli is America’s oldest continuously operating chocolate maker. Ghirardelli products are sold in grocery stores, food service and e-commerce, and Ghirardelli also has its own chocolate and ice cream shops across the country.



Ghirardelli continues to build on its rich tradition of quality products and innovation, from premium sauces like Hot Fudge to Sweet Ground Chocolate Powders and Vanilla Flavored Powder Base.

• 3 lb can Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate & Cocoa - Sweet Ground Powder (Pack of 1)
• 1 - By The Cup Portion-Control Cocoa Scoop
• Crafted from simple ingredients including real chocolate, dutched cocoa and vanilla
• Rich, indulgent flavor and deep, dark color deliver a less-sweet alternative to our classic ground powder
• Perfect for use in cakes, cookies, brownies, truffles, and hot beverages

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried this with coffee to make a mocha
Answer:	The container is plastic but the product is really good. It’s very smooth
Question:	How many carbs
Answer:	According to Star K website, the Natural Earth quinoa is Kosher for Passover when bearing the symbol. When ordering from Amazon, I don’t think there is a way to know for sure if it will have the symbol. When I purchased in 2020, I think it did have the symbol. It’s worth a try I think.
Question:	Does this dark version come in the 10lb. Bulk size
Answer:	Absolutely. I ate a few of them. They take straight forward like the contents say they are. They tend to be a little high in added vitamins and iron but if you do ok with daily vitamins this should be fine. Easy to transport no refrigeration or heat needed. I ate these for over 2 years die to a stomach illness.
Question:	Where does Ghirardelli source it’s cocoa from
Answer:	I guess it depends on when you order them but generally I would say 6months to a year maybe. It's quite a while

User questions & answers

Question:	Dd you use this in place of regular cocoa in a recipe or did you mix it with other cocoa
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. The ingredients listed in Ruby Red Royale Premium Fruit & Nut Snack Mix do not contain gluten, however, because it is produced/packaged on equipment shared with products that contain gluten it cannot be labeled gluten free. Even though we clean equipment and try to avoid cross contamination as much as possible it cannot be considered certified gluten free.
Question:	Is this used to make cold or hot milk chocolate
Answer:	No sulfates are added to Ruby Royale. This product does not contain sulfites at a level of 10 parts per million or greater. This is less than the level at which labeling is required for food products. Have a great day!
Question:	Can this be used to make chocolate frosting that is black
Answer:	The almonds in Ruby Royale are dry roasted. We hope you enjoy it!
Question:	The serving size on the label says 33g. but the fat, carbs, and protein only add to 8g... what gives?? how can be "velvety" if the fat content is 1g
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes, this does contain soy lecithin.

User questions & answers

Question:	It it really 1 gram of fat per teaspoon? if yes, this is a very high-fat cocoa - jackpot
Answer:	“new formula" - yes
Question:	Is this dark chocolate
Answer:	The ingredients listed is cocoa processed with alkali. I would assume this means 100% cocoa
Question:	Is this unsweetened cocoa powder
Answer:	You certainly can enhance/change regular/brown or Dutched cocoa powder flavor with this product.It basically depends on what taste you're going for. Of course, the espresso powder will give you the 'coffee note'. This dark/black cocoa will give you 'essence of Oreo', which is something completely different. It's cocoa, but in an unusual way that's pretty powerful. You don't a lot to change or enhance a flavor with this product. We really enjoy it!
Question:	Is this Dutch-processed / processed with alkali
Answer:	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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this powder have dairy in it
Answer:	Most manufacturer dates are best buy dates as opposed to expiration dates and refers to the date when flavor intensity/quality may decline , not sure if this cocoa is similar. Most cocoa powder can last at least 2 years past the printed date if unopened and 1 year once opened. I've also heard normally it's safe to use cocoa within 3 years of the date but the 2 year unopened and 1 year opened is the typical rule I follow. The current batch they have expires December 2016. I believe Wincrest Bulk Foods buys in bulk and then repackages it in consumer sizes, although I'm not certain, so this may be the 1 year mark from the date it was repackaged by them. Personally I would still go by 1 year from the date you open it and then base my decision at that point on smell and/or taste. I'm sure others have their own rules on how long they keep or have kept cocoa as storage conditions play a major part in it. Store it in a cool, dry location to help extend the life.
Question:	Is this dutch-processed
Answer:	Blommer's has many different cocoa powders - see the link to the pdf below that goes into more detail on these. The black one that I purchased is the Jet Black cocoa powder. A Sudan Dutch will still be a brown powder.
