Black Cocoa Powder – Ultra-Dark Dutch-Processed Cocoa, 5 lb / 50 lb | Intense Color & Flavor

Indcresa Black Cocoa Powder is a heavily alkalized, Dutch-processed cocoa with an ultra-dark, intensely pigmented hue and a smooth, mellow chocolate profile with low acidity and bitterness. With a high pH of 8–9 and low fat content, it's the professional's choice for Oreo-style cookies, devil's food cakes, dark chocolate ice cream, and premium pastries — naturally unsweetened and ideal for custom blends.

What black cocoa does. Black cocoa is the most heavily alkalized cocoa powder made. The extra alkalizing pushes the pH to 8 to 9, which turns the powder nearly black and strips out most of the sharpness, leaving a mild, slightly smoky chocolate note. It is the cocoa behind the classic sandwich-cookie wafer color. Because it is low in fat and very dry, most bakers blend it with a standard Dutch cocoa rather than using it alone, so the crumb stays moist and the chocolate flavor stays full.

Uses. Sandwich and black-and-white cookies, devil's food and blackout cake, dark chocolate ice cream and gelato, Halloween bakes, charcoal-look buns and macarons without food color, and cocoa blends where you want darker color without more bitterness. Unsweetened, vegan and kosher. Store sealed in a cool, dry place.
