Callebaut cocoa powder - 1kg bag

This cocoa is what good patisserie chefs use so thought I would give it a go. You can certainly taste the difference. You can even smell that it is better quality cocoa.It comes in a large paper bag like a flour bag but taller. I just about fit the whole bag into a large kilner jar. I have used it for chocolate cake and it really improves the flavour over a supermarket bought cocoa. I thought it was a little pricy but then for such a large bag I think it is worth the cost.Very excited to try the callebaut callets next.

This bag contains enough raw cocoa powder for dozens and dozens of hot chocolate drinks. Raw cocoa powder is stronger than I thought so I only need a very small teaspoon serving to flavour food and drink. This makes it extremely good value as it will last for months for these uses.if you're new to raw cocoa powder you should note that it's more bitter than typical off the shelf chocolate but it's way healthier and I got used to the taste very quickly.

Excellent cocoa powder, good texture and flavour. The only downside is the packaging. The bottom got damp from the work counter and started to separate. Since I didn’t need to use a whole kilo all at once I had to try find some thing else to store it in. Would recommend it but also suggest you need to be prepared to have something ready to store it in.

Been having problems with my chocolate cakes turning out far too sweet when I've been using other generic cocoa powders, so I turned to the internet to look for something better.This has turned out to be amazing! It makes my chocolate cakes/cupcakes rich enough without being too much, and doesn't make it sickly sweet. The best part is, is you don't need too much cocoa powder.It even turned out to be amazing for adding a small amount into hot chocolate if you want to dull down the sweetness in it a bit.. yum!

I was delightfully surprised how good this brand of cocoa is and how versatile too. I had previously bought Tesco and then Bourneville and Divine brands of cocoa powder and was VERY disappointed with the poor quality of these makes. I decided to follow other reviewers high praises and try this cocoa powder and I have been delightfully surprised bit the quality and taste. Makes lovely hot chocolate and gives a good flavour in baked goods. Lovely. Wouls biu again and would recommend.

I bought my first 1kg bag of cocoa powder in 2013 and am just seeing the last of it disappear. I buy vanilla ice cream; scoop it in a bowl and dust cocoa over it...let it melt a bit more ..and its gorgeous. Someone mentioned how fine the powder is and by golly...its very important not to breathe it in as that can happen when putting a spoon of vanilla ice cream dusted with cocoa...and breathe...in a second. Not sure what happens to my poor lungs...just keep coughing and coughing with tears running down!I think this cocoa comes from Peru actually!

I’ve been trying to find a cocoa as good as Green and Blacks used to be before they ‘uodated’ it, and gave it a silver band. Tastes like cardboard now 😠This is good but tastes a bit like chocolate powder for baking rather than cocoa for drinking. Still drinking it while I carry on with my research, so not too bad at all.

Having read in a few places that the fat content of cocoa powder (who knew there was such a thing) makes a difference in the taste of the final bake, I went about looking for a quality cocoa powder. This is a substantial bag and so worth it. When it arrived in the typical amazon cardboard package, I could actually already smell the cocoa powder; it's that rich. Furthermore (and after the fact), my chef-y would be brother-in-law said 'oh yes, Callebaut, they have a great reputation'. Ticks all the boxes then. Sold :)
