This rich chestnut brown cocoa powder is from from France. Higher in fat than most cocoa powders, Cacao Noel Cocoa Powder is alkalized or otherwise known as Dutch Processed. This wash of potassium carbonate on the beans neutralizes the acidity. It retains 20-22% fat. It makes rich hot cocoa and is ideal for baking as well.
Cacao Noel uses carefully grown and selected Equatorial beans that are fermented and roasted at their factory on the Ivory Coast. This century-old manufacturer then ships the beans to France where they complete the selecting and blending. The result is a sophisticated chocolate couverture line with an intense rich, complex flavor that meets the applications of chocolatiers and pastry chefs.
