Can I use this product in a chili recipe that calls for "unsweetened cocoa powder"?

Yes, Pernigotti is a really good cocoa powder. I use it exclusively now, and since I cannot find it locally, always buy it from Chefshop through Amazon.

This is a late answer, but worth mentioning http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe.htmlIt's fabulous. I also make AB's chocolate sauce by the quart for use in mocha. In fact, if you've never made hot cocoa using the syrup and milk frothed from an espresso maker wand, it's to die for.

Sorry but I have consumed my Green and Blacks and discarded the container. I am currently using Trader Joe's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. The only ingredient is Tumaco Cocoa Powder. No sugar rating listed. Total Carbohydrate 2g / 1% per 1 Tbsp. I sweeten this with pure maple syrup as I did with the Green and Black product. The Trader Joe's Brand is very good and similar to the Green and Black, in my opinion. Try it.

Peacenik, I recently purchased this product and have recently used it to make a chocolate sugar-free frosting. It is amazing...very smooth taste. So the ingredients say that it contains organic cocoa powder and for the acidity regulator, it uses potassium carbonate. It says that it may contain milk, soy, nuts, and cereals. This is in all caps after the previous two ingredients. I am thinking that it is processed in a facility where these other things are processed so if you have an allergy, you might not want it. But these items are not part of the ingredient list.

1 ounce cocoa + 2.2 ounce sugar + 3 ounce non-fat dry milk powder + dash of salt. I use these proportions to make a mix, which I shake up in a big container and store in covered jar. I do this for each of my 4 gourmet cocoa powders and store in respective jars. To prepare, I put X amount by weight of this mix in a cup and heat to boiling 3X water, and pour in cup and stir.

Not that I am aware of.There is nothing stated on the label. However, on a matter this serious I would contact the manufacturer or distributor. Here is a phone number from the package- 908-531-3291. The product comes from Ecuador, so they may not know either.It is an excellent cocoa butter. I used it for candy making.

That's true but I buy the unsweetened powder for the flavor. I have put it in my coffee for a rich chocolate taste and now I put it in my chocolate protein drinks that I make for the added chocolate taste too, I hope this helps. If you need further info-let me know. Good luck!

YES! It easily dissolves without lumps in hot or cold water...even in cocoa. This product is great. :)

I personally use a tablespoon or 1/2 of a tablespoon. Depending on how much milk you using. Also remember cocoa is a bit bitter so using a lot will make the hot chocolate taste a bit bitter if the cocoa is not dissolve completely. And I don't like my hot chocolate too dark. So I basically use this cocoa, a pinch of salt to bring out that flavor! And sugar! Throw some marsmellows too!

I'm not at all associated with the seller of this product, but I do order it here and use it. The ingredient is just raw cocoa butter.

I haven't used it in a cake, but I would assume it would be fine for recipes that called for "Dutch-processed" cocoa powder. Do not use in recipes that call for natural cocoa, because it likely has enough baking soda or other alkali to balance out the acidity of natural cocoa. I have only used it a bunch of times in a hazelnut-mocha macaron recipe (with great sucess!), and in a hot cocoa drink.

Sorry - I had bought this "chocolate" many months ago, so I no longer have the bag. But, as it says no tempering then it won't contain cocoa butter so it isn't what I call real chocolate. I ended up just melting it in the melting pot and dipping potato chips in it. I then bought good quality couverture for my molded chocolates.

Yes, you should be able to use this in melted chocolate. I'm not sure about the chemistry behind it, but it shouldn't seize. I use my emulsions in a mixture of 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3 T. pure maple syrup and 1 tsp. emulsion of choice. I stir with a whisk until well blended, pour into chocolate molds, chill 30 minutes and it's perfect. Good Luck!!

From the Valrhona website: Pure Unsweetened Cocoa PowderDutched Cocoa Powder (processed with alkali)A very pure and intense cocoa taste, with a very warm red mahogany color.

If you are used to using straight cocoa powder this will seem like a medium sweet. Not total sugar but you will taste the difference. It depends on the application. Great for Hot Cocoa and dusting desserts made with lower % chocolate that is more bitter. I really like this product.
