Valrhona Chocolate Cocoa Powder 100% cacao 1 lb

This cocoa powder is divine. There's nothing else on on the market that is comparable to its rich, amazing flavor and this has become a staple for all things chocolate in my household. I've made hot fudge, many varieties of chocolate cookies, the richest brownies I've ever had with it, and more. I absolutely love it, and recommend it to anyone who asks about cocoa powder. If I could give it ten stars, I would.

I was skeptical, I'll admit, but this cocoa is exceptional. I've tried Hershey's, Tcho, Ghirardelli, and so forth, and this cocoa beats them all by quite a long shot. Rich, complex, finely powdered, it mixes well for hot cocoa and baked and savory goods. I'm curious to compare it to Valrhona's own branded cocoa powder, but that is so much more expensive that I haven't justified the purchase in my mind as yet. Cocoa should technically be kept in a light proof container, but given the quality of the product I'm not too worried that it was sent in a clear bag. I've transferred the powder to a tin in my cupboard and hope that prior to sending it wasn't sitting on a shelf in the sun. ;)

(Please note: this product is shipped in a sturdy, sealed plastic zipper bag. Jar in photo is mine.) I've bought this repackaged cocoa powder several times now over the course of months. It is always outstanding quality. The seller reliably delivers fresh product with Valrhona's characteristic smoothness and richness. I use it for baking and I often add a teaspoon to my coffee. After first trying a can of the Valrhona-labeled product I tried this one for better value. I was hesitant about the repackaging but no worries were needed. To my best judgment this is the real deal! Will continue buying as long as needed and available :)

Not only does this have a gorgeous dark color, but it has a depth of flavor that you don't get with regular cocoa powder. This is the only cocoa powder I buy now.

Excellent quality
