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, foodservice 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, Hot Fudge, Sweet Ground Chocolate Powders and Vanilla Flavored Powder Base.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the origin of this product
Answer:	we used their special dark for baking and liked it; no idea about candy bars since I don't particularly like candy bars.
Question:	What are the cadmium levels for this product
Answer:	It is polypropylene plastic with a special wrap around paper label that mimics the look of metal. It is not a "tin" nor is it a "can"
Question:	Can I use this to make chocolate ice cream
Answer:	Just enough dutch to make it appear darker for the customer, but at minimal expense for the company. 100% dutched would be nice, but not as profitable.
Question:	Is this dark chocolate cocoa
Answer:	This "Special Dark" includes cocoa processed with alkali ("Dutch processed"), which makes the product less bitter -- but reduces the healthy flavanols; see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18710243 .

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you mix this cold to make chocolate milk
Answer:	The can I have "Ghirardelli Chocolate Frappe" is 50 oz and the instructions are for "specialty coffee retailers." There are instructions for three 16oz drinks listed on the back (plain, espresso & coffee frappe) all using 4oz of the mix. So if you want 8oz instead of 4 you'd use half (2 ounces) and get 25 drinks.
Question:	Does this have dairy
Answer:	Amazon shows I've ordered this 29 times over the years. Only in the past 9 months have they started sending me the wrong product. Unfortunately, it has the same UPC as the product I order. What I want and used to receive has "Sweet ground chocolate" as the first ingredient, but starting this year, I've been received a similar, but not nearly as good, product that lists sugar as the first ingredient. The label is different (white writing, for one thing) but the UPC code is now the same. You can look at the 2 products yourself. Amazon sells one for $19 or so and the other for $23 or so but in the last 8 months what I have received is the white lettering product with sugar as the first ingredient. This despite the fact it isn't what I ordered. I have talked to numerous Amazon reps about this and the last one figured out the same UPC issue but it is infuriating that they continue to show the wrong product on their website and people like me, who look at the image of the ingredients, think they are ordering what they've always ordered, but that's not what they get. Don't buy this unless you want something that is more sugar than chocolate. And, Amazon, if you read this, how about fixing your false advertising. Hmm, that gives me an idea. I think I'll complain to the FTC about your false advertising. Maybe then you'll take this product off your website.
Question:	How many 8 oz. cups of beverage can you make from the 48 oz. can
Answer:	My unit is also 32"x32" and this fits my unit just fine. If you look at my review on this cover (under Rockster), you will see a picture of my outside condenser unit and see how this cover fits mine.
Question:	What are the ingredients in this mix? They aren't listed on this page
Answer:	The measurement given is the exact size of the cover. If it is put on the diagonal (which I did) then the cover measurement needs to be the same as the measurement between opposite corners of the AC unit.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there added aluminum? I don’t see it in the ingredients list but labels usually specify
Answer:	Corn is the kernel of the corn and cornstarch is made from the ground endosperm but yes, technically it does have corn in it.
Question:	does this baking powder contain corn
Answer:	This product contains Baking Soda, which may contain small traces of aluminum since it is naturally mined from the earth. Bob's Red Mill does not add any extra aluminum to this product outside the mining process.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it dissolve well for hot cocoa, and is it at all bitter
Answer:	I'm not sure, they sold them individual for $4.19 in June, I bought 2 and they are not fulfilling that order after they raised the price. They are selling it at a much Higher Price.
Question:	What size is the measuring spoon (1 tbsp i'm guessing) that comes with cocoa powder
Answer:	The package has a Best before date printed on the reverse at the top. The ones I have in my kitchen show a July 31 2019 date. I bought these packages a few weeks ago from my local Safeway. This has got to be the Best. Cocoa. Ever.
Question:	Product description claims it is non-alkalized and Dutch processed. Dutch processing involves adding alkaline so which is it- non-alkalized or Dutch

User questions & answers

Question:	How many cups are in this bag
Answer:	I have tried it for hot cocoa, have only used it for baking
Question:	Is that a dark color powder
Answer:	yes it is 1 Tbsp
Question:	What is the difference between this product and Ghiradelli's Majestic cocoa which is also a dutch process cocoa
Answer:	It is NON alkalized and NOT dutch processed so I think you misread: "100% Unsweetened Ground Cocoa; Not processed with Alkaline; Not Dutch processed".
Question:	I know that the "Majestic" version has 20 - 22% fat content. What is the fat content of this one
Answer:	I have not done a comparison. I can say that Ghardelli cocoa is of the highest quality. I use it to make no-fat hot chocolate with a minimum amount of sugar. It is always delicious and can be sweetened to taste. (I have not tried to use it unsweetened.) I use it to make "Ghardelli Grand Fudge Cake". This is a tradition for our family, served once a year to commemorate everyone's birthday. The name seems to have been changed to "Classic Fudge Cake"; not an improvement in my opinion.
