Description
Cocoa powder is a brown powder with a characteristic bittersweet taste. It is made by removing cocoa butter from ground cocoa mass. The remaining mass is then finely ground to obtain cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder is hygroscopic and has anti-inflammatory properties due to its antioxidant content – polyphenols and flavonols. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals. In combination with baking soda, it acts as a leavening agent.
Our natural cocoa powder comes from Ghana, Ivory Coast and the Dominican Republic.

Cocoa powder is widely used in the food industry. Various baked goods and creams are based on cocoa powder. It is also added to drinks – it is the basic ingredient of cocoa drinks – and ice cream.
Cocoa powder can also be used in the production of cosmetics. Due to its brown color, it serves as a natural pigment. It is therefore used in makeup products such as eye shadows, eyeliners and bronzers. Due to its high antioxidant content, cocoa powder also has antioxidant, anti-aging and moisturizing effects on the skin.
