5.0 out of 5 stars Cocoa Powder With Rich Chocolate Flavor, August 2, 2011

LOTS of chocolate powder--this box measures 3" x 5" by 6"! But it's the perfect size for me, now that I'm making my own chocolate ice cream.

This excellent "Dutch process" powder imparts a full, rich, delicious chocolate flavor to ice cream (and presumably to hot cocoa, cakes, cookies, or anything else you might use it for). It's real cocoa--100% natural unsweetened cocoa. This is the same Hershey's cocoa powder that is sold in grocery stores in 8-oz. boxes. By purchasing this "economy size", I paid about 55 cents per ounce (including Amazon Prime shipping), instead of about 69 cents per ounce (for three 8-oz. boxes at a local store).

5.0 out of 5 stars Delish! Serious size for seriuos Chocoholics, August 3, 2011

This large container is 3" x 5" x 6", it is perfect for cooking and baking for chocoholics like me!

I like:
1. This powder has rich yet delicate chocolate flavor
2. 100% cocoa
3. It is unsweetened, so you can control how sweet the final result is
4. Economical size, best per oz price if you use a lot of chocolate powder

I don't like:
Nothing!

There are two types of unsweetened cocoa powder: Dutch-processed and Natural. Natural cocoa is an acid. Dutch-processed cocoa is treated with an alkali to neutralize the acid. As a result Dutch-processed cocoa is has more delicate chocolate flavor and no bitterness, while Natural cocoa power has more intense deeper chocolate flavor with a bit of bitterness.

Note that this why (its neutrality) Dutch-Processed Coca Powder does not react with baking soda, it must be used in recipes with baking powder.

I found that I enjoy some bitterness when I eat a good chocolate bar or a brownie, but I prefer not to have that bit of bitterness when I eat a chocolate cake.
