Cocoa Metro Organic Belgian Cocoa Powder (3 Pack), Unsweetened Cocoa Powder For Baking, Rich Fudgy Flavor, Non Alkalized, Best European Roast Chocolate Flavor, Keto Friendly, Vegan – Super Chocolatey

Product Description

You cannot get true chocolate flavor in raw cacao. Roasting is required.

The all-important step of roasting cacao beans is the very thing that transforms that beautiful, wrinkly little cacao bean into what we know as chocolate. It’s a chemical change in the bean that gives chocolate its heavenly chocolate aroma. Raw is fine for health purposes, but let’s be real, is your chocolate cake, brownie, cookie, or fudge about tasting healthy or about enjoying the luxurious flavor of all out, freakingly delicious, mind-blowing CHOCOLATE? Let the record show that the answer is the latter.

You can’t skip steps like fermentation and roasting to get the best chocolate flavor out of cacao beans

Raw cacao powder is fine for some applications (like when chocolate flavor just doesn’t matter. But does chocolate flavor ever NOT matter?!). If you care about chocolate flavor, the only way to achieve deep, creamy, European chocolate notes is by precisely roasting the cacao beans before it is ground into cocoa powder. Raw does not cut it for flavor. It fails miserably. Do a side by side comparison with raw and roasted cacao powder. You’ll quickly find there is no comparison for genuine chocolate flavor.

Fermentation is another critical step in achieving pure chocolate flavors. Proper fermentation reduces bitterness in the final cocoa powder and coaxes out the interesting, deep flavors of the particular cacao bean that is harvested. Fermentation takes time and is therefore skipped by many in their rush to get the beans to market. You can taste what’s missing in a side by side. Try it. I dare you.

Natural Cocoa Powder, not alkalized or Dutch processed

Many cocoas are alkalized or “Dutch processed”. This process washes the beans in an alkaline solution of potassium carbonate to make the flavor more mild or neutral. It also makes the cocoa powder appear darker. It looks darker, but does not mean it tastes darker. It’s actually the opposite. Go figure. Oreo cookies are ultra alkalized to get that dark, almost black, color. Oreos are not necessarily known for their high end chocolate taste. Ok, maybe in some circles. It’s fine for certain applications, but if you’re looking for a rich (more complex notes), fudgy chocolate flavor in your brownies, chocolate cake, smoothies, and cookies, you want a natural cocoa powder, not the processed stuff. We have performed hundreds of blind taste tests with brownies and the natural cocoa ALWAYS wins. Try it. I double dog dare you.
