Black Cocoa Powder for Baking - 250g Pouch | Intense Deep Black Dutch Processed Unsweetened Cocoa Powder | pH 8.8 (Zero Bitterness) with 10-12% Fat | Super Cal

Fantastic black cocoa powder. Gave a beautiful deep colour to my frosting without any bitterness. Blended smoothly and delivered a rich, balanced chocolate flavour. Excellent quality — would definitely purchase again.

Tastes amazing. It does smell like dirt but once baked the smell disappears.

I have just got this and I eagerly opened the packet. That's where the bother began. It isn't the finest of powders, it is black and it literally gets everywhere. It is the colour of Coal and it has big lumps in it like Coal. Getting it out of the packet and into a smaller container for ease of dispensing was flipping awful. As I said, this stuff gets everywhere. I don't know how it tastes yet. I don't bake with it, if I did it would need sifting and I literally couldn't be bothered with that carry on. I got it into an old Coffee jar and intend to get it out of that. I use it for the health benefits in my overnight Oats with Cinnamon and Turmeric. I can't imagine what it will resemble with this stuff in it. Now, I knew it was Black when I ordered it, so that was my fault. I'll see what it tastes like soon enough and report back on that. I feel really unfair knocking a star off because it clearly says it is Black Cocoa, but it is far from a powder and a pain in the backside to use so far.

Yes this powder is more expensive than regular cocoa powder, but for me it's worth every penny. The taste is akin to Oreos: it's much less bitter than the brown stuff you can pick up in the supermarkets. I love baking and since using this in my cookies and cakes I haven't looked back.

Exactly as described - top class.

This product is horrendous. DO NOT PURCHASE I Brought this product to help make my black buttercream darker quicker without using so much coco powder and black food colouring. But what a total disaster this product is!! It has an awful smell to it and an even worse taste to it. When you open the bag straight away you can smell the strong iron like smell which lingers and it is even worse once mixed with the buttercream. It ruined my whole cake and I had to start again costing more money to purchase more ingredients to fix it! No not buy and if it had a 0 star I would give that!

Good taste, like oreos

I ordered this cocoa powder before I read the reviews. When it arrived this afternoon I opened it and had a smell of it and it doesn't smell that great. I had a little taste and it tastes as bad as it smells but I prepared a mix and threw it in the oven. To my surprise when I took it out of the oven and had a taste and it is really delicious! I highly recommend this cocoa powder.
