Droste Cocoa Powder, 8.8 Ounce

Now that it's discontinued you just have to get over the price. Either you want this stuff or you don't.

For Christmas, we had a lot of family over; because we planned on spending a lot of time outdoors at night, we thought serving hot coco would be fun, and it was; people enjoyed it a lot. But that started us on a quest to find the best cocoa. We tested about 8 different kinds and in the end, the clear favorite is Droste. It is reasonably price, it is Dutch processed cocoa, it mixes better with milk than any other brand we tried, it does not come pre-mixed with sugar allowing you to develop the sweetness profile you like best, and it has one of the best flavors. Enjoy!

I usually buy Ghiradelli and it's good but oh my! America's Test Kitchen ranked this above several others including Ghiradelli so I thought I'd try it for the brownies I was making for my son's birthday dinner. Immediately upon opening the package I could see and smell the difference. When I was mixing the brownie batter I knew they'd be amazing, the batter was almost black. I was using a vegan recipe and they were still rich and decadent, fudgy and so chocolatey. ATK was right, this is far superior to any other cocoa I've used. It is a little pricey at over $8 a box but it is well worth it. I would have attached a picture but they're all gone.

I've bought this cocoa for about 5 years. It has a good chocolate flavor. It has a fine texture. In order to economize, because it is expensive I usually use half Droste cocoa and half Hershey cocoa in my recipes. That's the best of both worlds as each cocoa has it's strength. Try this hot chocolate recipe: In small saucepan add 1 cup milk, 1 and 1/2 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 tbsp of Droste cocoa, 1/2 tbsp Hershey cocoa and a tiny tiny bit of salt. Stir as your heating. Heat just to drinking temperature - don't boil. Top with whip cream if you want. If you happen to have heavy cream on hand substitute part of the milk with the cream - that's really good! Final word: I do like Droste cocoa - try it.

Droste’s is a 163 year old company, producing a very high level cocoa (unlike almost anything sold by American companies). My wife and I have been using it since 1969 and will go out of our way to obtain it. Our favorite recipe is their chocolate cream pie which was published on their boxes for decades. One cannot go wrong buying the Droste brand.

I have only used this on chocolate cake, so far. The powder I used in the cake was cheap, store brand powder. The powder in the cake does not matter as much as the powder in the frosting (in my opinion). This powder tastes much better than store brand or even the popular name brands. I wish I could give this a 4.5 rating. I didn’t give it a 5 because I suspect there are cocoa powders that taste better. The cost is probably much higher, too. I had an awful time opening the package. The bag that the powder is in, does not separate from the box. It is hard to seal up the bag. The bag and the box ripped!!!

Best cocoa available! Bakers Choice!

.Excellent product. Sadly the company has gone out of business. I was appalled that I was charged three times as much from my previous order. Shame on you Amazon for taking advantage of your loyal customers

difficile de trouver mieux

Ottimo cacao, ne abbiamo provati tanti ma questo lo usiamo da prima ancora che amazon esistesse e continuiamo a riprenderlo. Ha un gusto molto intenso, ne basta veramente poco. Persino un banale latte e cacao con questo prodotto acquisisce una densità e profondità di gusto diversa rispetto alle altre polveri di cacao. La spedizione costa un po' ma ne vale la pena, trattandosi di un prodotto che dura comunque nel tempo.

Best cocoa ever, but can't buy it any more. Price has reached sky high.

deze Cacao is altijd heerlijk

Great product as always
