Improper packaging and handling by carrier.

The product is excellent. The two containers were packaged poorly and handled improperly. Both lids were off; one container had a broken seal. Chocolate powder was scattered in the box.

Quality product at a low price

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

The product arrived several days ahead of schedule, well-packaged and in perfect condition. The high quality is the same as I have received in the past with this product, at one of the lowest prices. Although the product seems fresh, the package arrived on 12/22/2021 with an expiration date of 5/2022 stamped on the containers--not a very long recommended use period. At the same time, I received another shipment of the same product from a different seller, and its expiration date is 5/2023, a full year further out. Other than that, I would have given this order five stars.

My wife and I bought four different kinds of cocoa for this winter, all of them pure cocoa with no mix or sugar and this was the best even though I paid more money for some of the others

Emperor Montezuma II ruled the Aztec Empire in Mexico from 1502 to 1520. According to Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes, Montezuma II told him in 1519 that "[unsweetened] cocoa is a divine drink that builds up resistance and fights fatigue. Drinking just one cup of this precious drink will allow a man to walk for a whole day without eating any food."

In Montezuma's days, the cacao bean, which is really a seed and not a legume, grew only in Latin America. Today, more than 70% of the world's cacao beans are grown in western Africa.

In Montezuma's days, the cacao bean was separated into cocoa powder, which was very highly prized, and cocoa butter, which was the waste product. Today, cocoa butter is very highly prized and in short supply because it is needed by the chocolate industry to feed the world's addiction to chocolate. Today, cocoa powder is in oversupply and in need of more buyers.

Even before Montezuma's days, the Incas in Peru considered cocoa to be "the drink of the Gods," which explains why "Theobroma cacao," the modern scientific name for this plant, means "God" "drink" "cacao" in the Greek language. However, radiocarbon dating indicates that the Aztecs drank liquid unsweetened cocoa before the Incas. In Honduras, archaeologists uncovered elaborately designed bowls used by the Aztecs around 1600 BC to drink liquid unsweetened cocoa.

Disadvantages of cocoa powder: Cancer-causing mycotoxins, inflammation-causing bacterial endotoxins, the toxic heavy metal, cadmium, and acrylamide, which is the slightly cancer-causing chemical produced when starch is baked or fried (but not produced when starch is boiled or steamed).

Advantages of cocoa powder: Cocoa powder, even when unsweetened, tastes much better than all other health-promoting powders, including turmeric powder, olive leaf powder, matcha green tea powder, ginger powder, garlic powder, Korean red ginseng powder, astragalus powder, amalaki powder, globe artichoke powder, milk thistle seed powder, reishi mushroom powder, Agaricus blazei powder, fenugreek seed powder, etc.

awesome chocolate, terrible container

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've been using this cocoa for 45 years. Still the same great stuff. I use it for all "chocolate needs", and I have many, many daily chocolate needs. I use it in baked goods, frostings, pudding, and hot cocoa, and I mix it right into cold protein drinks. For the cocoa itself, FIVE stars.

But this review is about the 23-ounce boxes as well as the cocoa inside them. For the package, TWO stars.

Two and five does not average to four, but I didn't want it to look like I was rating the cocoa at three. Not enough dimensions in the Amazon ratings.

The packaging leaves a lot to be desired. I'd prefer to leave it in the plastic container it comes in, but due to the glued-on paper seal, the glue of which does NOT come off even after repeated washings and scrubbing with Goo Gone and a kitchen scrubber, and the looseness of the top, this isn't feasible. The product is fully open to the air all around the fuzzy paper-coated rim, and the air here is coastal and very humid. I knew that the small boxes of cocoa were like this, but I felt sure that the bigger boxes, which the consumer might keep for a much longer period, would be more air-tight. And because this particular box is so large, it makes it easy to deform the plastic just by picking it up. This makes it very easy to have a terrible accident in which the box slips out of the hand, opens the lid on the way down, and explodes cocoa all over the floor. I would not buy these large boxes unless you are prepared to immediately move the product to smaller, more air-tight containers. Otherwise, highly recommend the cocoa. :)

Great sugar free natural product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2021

Remember this is Cacao and Hershey is an American brand, its not Cocoa as the UK market would view it. Cacao is the unsweetened version of cocoa, i.e. its more pure, has a slightly bitter taste rather than sweet like drinking chocolate. A little goes a long way though so bitterness can be minimised by using half the cacao than would be used as cocoa.

Hersheys cocoa taste amazing. I already used it for my chocolate chia pudding and hot chocolate. It is definitely 100% cocoa just like what it said on the box. I would give them a 4-5 star. However, based on the pictures, it was opened when it came.
