Review: Best cocoa powder for baking! - This is THE best Dutch processed cocoa powder for baking! I try to use it in everything I bake that requires cocoa powder. It adds a deep, rich chocolate flavour. I've tried cocoa powders from other countries but Van Houten's is the best I've tried. It's not easy to find so I was delighted to be able to order this on desertcart. However the packaging wasn't great in that the box of cocoa was shipped in a padded envelope so there was an amount of leakage.
Review: Great chocolate - 89 year old moms favorite chocolate . Hot chocolate every day. She’s from the Netherlands so it’s appropriate. Her favorite chocolate .

## Questions & Answers

A: Depends on how you like it’s strong or not. I use 2 full teaspoons for 10 oz whole milk. If skim milk or 2% maybe a little less.

**Q: What is the expiration date for this product?**
A: Hello,
the expiration date is december 18th 2023

**Q: Is this "Dutch processed" as called for in recipes?**
A: Coenraad Johannes van Houten was the chemist and chocolate maker known for the treatment of cocoa mass with alkaline salts to remove the bitter taste and make cocoa solids more water-soluble; the resulting product is still called "Dutch process chocolate".(from Wikipedia).

**Q: Is this cocoa very dark?**
A: It is 100% cocoa.
