Weirdo Good Black Velvet Cacao – Organic, Allergen-Free, Premium Black Cocoa Powder, Ultra-Dutched for Extra-Dark Baking, 14 oz

Yummy, deep cocoa flavor! Lacks the flavor of tears and despair of conventional cocoa. Our first experiment was adding it to cherry ice cream, just to see how we like it. It slaps. Cocoa that wasn't seasoned with the sweat of children tastes so much better than the stuff in the brown box.

high quality, well sourced, repeat user, thank you

I wanted black cocoa for a cake. I was intrigued by the reviews of the flavor being similar to an Oreo. My usual is King Arthur flour black cocoa. I have not baked with this yet however I have been adding a couple teaspoons to my meal replacement shakes along with a little salt and some low carb sweetener so when made into a shake with ice it doesn’t lose flavor. WOW. It’s soooo good I have considered having one as a “dessert”. The cocoa makes all the difference. I have tried Hershey’s special dark cocoa in the shake for comparison. The weirdo black has an intense rounded flavor that somehow does not need heat to bring out the flavor. It’s fabulous and does have hints of Oreo. I will update when the cakes are reviewed. Highly recommend. New favorite cocoa.

great flavor, tried it because Anthony's always sold out

Absolutely love this cacao. And I’m not even big on chocolate. But this stuff tastes amazing and everyone who has tried the muffins I make using this rave about it too. You can tell that it’s a high quality product. I really appreciate that it’s organic - that means no conventional toxic pesticides, herbicides, etc. are used, and the alkalizing agents to alkalize the cacao are specific ones that are made sure to be safe, such as sodium bicarbonate (literally baking soda), potassium bicarbonate, and the like. Also, I very much adore the brand, their message and mission! Can’t wait to see them grow and offer more products, I’m ready to buy!!

I LOVE that this product is so allergen friendly! I can finally offer something super rich and decadent for my clients with severe allergies. My only complaint is a minor one. I feel the true cocoa flavor is slightly lacking. I have fixed this by baking with espresso or black coffee as my liquid, which helps elevate the flavor. Other than that, it is exceptional, and I will continue to purchase!

This stuff is amazing.

WOW. If I knew cocoa powder like this existed my entire kitchen experience would have been altered. Usually I avoid cocoa products due to poor quality, over sweetness, and chalkboard like textures... this is flavorful, rich, bold, VERY dark and gorgeous, and a wonderful texture. Big kudos to this company - they figured it out.

This is a little pricey, however, the end result within a cake is incredible! I would buy again.
