It's good. Not actually the blackest black cocoa I've ever encountered, but that was commercial-quality black cocoa that was actually something you wouldn't want to use straight, ever. I had a tough time using it all up over years. This stuff is very dark, not true black cocoa (but for most home-cook applications, that's a good thing, not a bad thing). You can actually use this on its own without it being terrible, which you can't say of true black cocoa. I got it because I wanted a truly dark-chocolate Buche de Noel, and that's what I used it to make. Would also like to make a nice very dark-chocolate Swiss Roll. For *really* black cocoa, I have obtained it in the past from King Arthur Flour. Not sure if they still carry it. As I said, for most home cooks, real black cocoa is overkill, something you're more likely to mess up with, because you absolutely shouldn't use it by itself. This stuff is quite good and can be used without worry.

Now that Hershey's no longer makes dark cocoa powder, it's hard to find a good substitute. This one is pricey but delicious - and a little goes a long way. I use it almost daily to make a morning mocha, and a heaping teaspoon is all I need for a blend of one cup coffee and one cup of milk (and a scant teaspoon of stevia). It has a very rich cocoa flavor, without bitterness. Since I use less per serving than I did with Hershey's, I consider it a good buy.

Flavor is remarkable, I bought this to make low carb chocolate, very happy.

I love it. But they say the trick is to also use some regular cocoa along with it and some espresso powder and or other ingredients that enhance the flavor or chocolate. Think Oreo cookie deep dark chocolate for youe recipes. I've used it to make a black cocoa sourdough bread,and a black cocoa cake. 10 stars!
