Anthony's Organic Cocoa Powder, 2 lb, Gluten Free, Non GMO, Unsweetened

I'm an avid baker and amateur chocolatier, but I'd never purchased an expensive cocoa product before this. However, I'd started to have problems with the quality and baking reliability of store bought cocoas. I wanted a nice dark cocoa (dutch processed) because it tasted better than standard supermarket cocoas, but then the baked goods wouldn't rise correctly because of the increased alkalinity. (Flat brownies are frustrating!) Then I bought a new blended cocoa at my local supermarket that tasted just awful, so it was finally time to up the ante and shell out the big bucks for a decent tasting cocoa. Tough choice on Amazon if you've read some of the highly rated reviews, they vary among maybe 3-4 different favored brands with some fierce opinions! This particular product was loved by many but a few said it was clumpy or had no flavor or was inferior to the more expensive brands sold on Amazon. However, there was a limit to the number of $$$ I was willing to shell out so I gave this one a go. Once received, I opened the pouch and first took a deep sniff. My god, it has an actual cocoa smell, not just the smell of dust like supermarket cocoas! I was immediately optimistic, and set out to make a fairly basic chewy/fudgy cocoa brownie recipe, nothing special, no added ingredients like I usually throw in. Which I then promptly and thoroughly inhaled in less than 24 hours. HEAVENLY. The flavor was so gentle but noticeably chocolatey that I never feel the need to make a brownie recipe requiring baking chocolate again. I'm in love. This stuff is GREAT. The price point is not too bad compared to other organic raw cocoas sold here so I think it's a really nice starting point for the picky baker. I'm never going back to supermarket cocoa again. Now I gotta up my ante on the chocolate chips for my cookies as well.... if anyone has a recommendation, put it in the comments. Oh, the "reclosable" ziploc top is pretty much unusable, but this stuff was so good I'm not even taking off a star. Happy eating!!

Great flavor. Consistent quality. Good price.

I’ve been using Anthony’s Organic Cocoa Powder (2 lb, Gluten Free, Non GMO) for a while now, and it’s earned a permanent spot in my pantry. This is our 3rd bag. Pros: -Rich, deep chocolate flavor — just right for baking, smoothies, or hot cocoa -Smooth, fine grind — blends effortlessly, no gritty bits -Clean and natural — nothing extra in it -Great value for the size — this 2-lb bag goes a long way. Other brands cost way more. -Less bitter than other unsweetened cacao's I've tried Cons (tiny nitpicks): -Because it’s natural/unalkalized, it’s a little more acidic than “Dutch-processed” cocoas -The bag is simple — a sturdier resealable container would be nice. The zip top doesn't work great. If you want a real, rich cocoa powder you can trust in recipes or as a drink mix, this is one of the best I’ve tried. It’s pure, flavorful, and won’t defeat your wallet. Highly recommended!

I was really skeptical about trying out a brand I was not familiar with. This cocoa powder has exceeded my expectations for sure. The look, smell & taste are amazing. I will buy again.

Great quality,the 5 pound bag is a $ saver!

high quality fine cocoa powder.. non-alkanized. raw. Perfect for baking ( sweet potato / cocoa brownies. ). I add it to homemade kefir and yogurt .. would purchase again. flavor is very mild..not quite as strong as some I have bought in Costa Rica. Easy to make capsules..non clumping.. research effects on cardiac health

Rich tasting with no junk!! Love it!! I have a small organic bakery and this is my favorite cocoa.

I like the smooth taste. The price is great for being organic.

Amazing, tasty, natural product with no chemicals or additives. Taste very good!!!!!!

Finally, a very rich and tasty good organic cocoa. Satisfying purchase. Recommend.

Best quality Cacao powder so far. It's just the scarcity of the product.
