As soon as you taste our delicious chocolate bar, the first thing you notice about Cadbury Bournville Cocoa is that it is made with the same high quality beans as our delicious chocolate. Your enjoyment of drinking or baking is entirely yours. Bournville%27s rich cocoa chocolate is irresistible and carefully designed to complement the palate with 70% cocoa and a smooth texture, offering a smooth finish to your day. The Majestic Premium Cocoa Powder has a high cocoa butter content (20-22%) which gives it a very silky texture, as it is obtained from alkalized nib cocoa. The producer recommends using it for baking and beverage applications. At this stage, which is usually done in factories, the beans can be ground into the so-called “chocolate liquor” (cocoa paste), from which chocolate can be obtained directly. Also, the cocoa paste can be separated into cocoa butter and cocoa powder, and processed further.

The powder is rich in flavonol antioxidants, substances that turn it into a superfood, but are partially lost when the cocoa powder is processed. There are countless brands of cocoa powder and choosing one depends on several factors, such as budget, nutritional recommendations, type of dessert, and, of course, professional chef recommendations.For example, Pastry Chef Michael Kitun from Naples Sailing and Yacht Club in Florida recommends using Dutch-processed cocoa for a flourless chocolate cake, which remains moist after baking. Users describe it as being the creamiest of all Ghirardelli powder cocoa types, very well suited for decadent chocolate desserts. Ghirardelli chocolate is recommended by Chef Rakhee Vaswani for a Ghirardelli Chocolate and Oregon hazelnut brownies recipe, as it has an intense flavor and rich taste.

Ghirardelli Cocoa Powder is another well-known brand, produced by the American company Ghirardelli, currently a division of theLindt & SprüngliSwiss confectioner. One of the few companies with a very strict cocoa bean selection process for making cocoa powder and chocolate, Ghirardelli controls every aspect of their chocolate manufacturing process, by processing the cocoa beans, and producing chocolate and cacao solids, like cocoa powder. Cocoa powder, known as “food of the Gods” in the Maya civilization of Central America, is a well-known dessert ingredient and superfood. Obtained from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, also known as “the chocolate tree”, cocoa powder is a solid that results from grinding the seeds after the cocoa butter is extracted. A store-bought hot chocolate mix is a mixture of cocoa powder, milk powder, sugar, and a few drops of coffee. This product’s unique chocolate flavor can be found in any type of product it is used for. Because its fat and cocoa solids are arranged differently, Cadbury chocolate is not suitable for baking. Cocoa powder, sweetener, milk solids, and spices are used in a hot cocoa mix. In addition to sweetened chocolate and cocoa butter, the ingredients in chocolate chips include peanuts. Professional bakers enjoy making decadent chocolate. It is commonly used in baking, including brownies, cakes, chocolate bars, barks, and candies.

The Cacao tree is native to Central America and only grows close to the Equator. Mayans domesticated the Cacao tree 5,000 years ago and considered the plant a gift from the gods. To them and other pre-Columbian civilizations, cocoa was both a ritualistic drink and a currency. After Europeans discovered cocoa and chocolate, their appetite led to an increase in the number of cocoa plantations, both in Central and South America, but also in Asia. Valrhona is one of the most renowned chocolate producers in the world. The French company was established in 1922 by Pastry Chef Albéric Guironnet, who wanted to produce the best artisan chocolate, balancing flavors and texture. Today, Valrhona is the brand of chocolate and cocoa powder used by many pastry chefs and chocolatiers.
