Good value for the money The color the health benefits the smell the energy level is good. Energy that the cocoa gives is good. I can make hot chocolate with milk or almond rice or whatever milk products I want to use. Add or not sweetener such as sugar or non-sugar sweeteners or whatever. If I want to add other stuff to my hot chocolate or brownies, I can. It also works well in brownies. It's organic, and it says what it says it is, and nothing else. Clean reliable food. Recommend.

I purchased this cocoa to blend into my daily afternoon smoothie -- just to try it. While I absolutely adore having it in my smoothie, that is like blending a fine wine with a spritzer. It's overkill for my smoothie which isn't worthy of this cocoa powder. This cocoa power is absolutely beautiful and dark; it's very rich and very smooth. If I were making hand-made chocolates or a torte, this would be the cocoa that I would use. It really is a cocoa for cooks. It's mind boggling. You receive a smallish amount, but again this is for judicious use and for making / baking a chocolate treat...and a little goes a long way. A significant amount of an inferior cocoa powder could not hold a candle to the velvety smooth yet deep chocolate flavor of this cocoa.

God knows why corporations make the decisions they do, but why would Green & Blacks have to pull this cocoa powder, which is the best I've found after testing quite a few, when they seem to be flooding the US market with the rest of their crap. We don't need their bland, expensive bars or their fluffy, expensive ice cream. We need a cocoa powder that actually tastes like chocolate and not brown chalk. This is where they excelled, and they teased us Yanks with it for a while then cut us off cold turkey. Thank goodness Amazon allows us to order from a worldwide network, so we can still get our purist chocolate fix, albeit at an extra cost. Stock up.

I TEND TO BE ALLERGIC TO MILK, AND I CAN'T DIGEST SOY. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINED BOTH INGREDIENTS, AND DID NOT REALIZED IT UNTIL AFTER INGESTING IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD A SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION. THEY SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED WHAT THE INGREDIENTS WERE IN BOLD.

This product is no longer sold in the USA. So I was glad to get it through Amazon. Most of the American cocoas that I've seen are mixes which contain dairy. I lean towards veganism so this is the only type cocoa that I wanted to deal with. It took a while to get here. When it arrived the container had a bubble wrap on it, but the contaiher had been smashed and the can had a sizeable dent in it. If you bought this can in a grocery store, it would probably be reduced due to the container damage. It still seemed though that the contents inside the container had no outside exposure. So I didn't complain and just kept it. I've used the product several times. It is a high quality cocoa. I'm satisfied and will buy again when the time comes. I think the damage to the container was a one-time fluke. Accidents happen.

This is a delicious cocoa powder for baking or mixing into hot milk. It is unsweetened but has a slight natural sweetness. I have learned to enjoy it with any added sweetener, thus avoiding the calories of sugar and any possible side-effects of chemical sweeteners.I tend to get heartburn easily and this is one of only two cocoa products I've found that don't give me heartburn. The other is from a store that does not have a web presence and is not local to me, so for me it is worth paying extra to get this cocoa.

I love, hot cocoa! This cocoa is absolutely hands-down, my favorite! The cocoa is extremely fine powder with no bitter taste at all. It’s the lightest cocoa I’ve ever had with the boulders taste!

This is more like a dust - if you draw in a deep breath, you'll be wearing it, and you need to be careful in opening the container. It has a more subtle taste than what we grew up on.
