Rowntree's Cocoa Powder For Baking - Instant Hot Chocolate Drink, 250 g (Pack of 6)

Product Information

One of the few companies with a very strict cocoa bean selection process for making cocoa powder and chocolate, Ghirardelli controls every aspect of their chocolate manufacturing process, by processing the cocoa beans, and producing chocolate and cacao solids, like cocoa powder.

A very distinct stage in the processing of the cocoa beans is treating the beans with alkali, which results in Dutch-processed cocoa powder. It has a very rich taste and gives a velvety texture to any dessert but without the bitterness usually associated with such intense-tasting cocoa. There are countless brands of cocoa powder and choosing one depends on several factors, such as budget, nutritional recommendations, type of dessert, and, of course, professional chef recommendations. Recommended by international chefs such as French chef Philippe Marand, ambassador of Lenôtre in premiere chocolaterie and pastry events and Belgian chefErik Van Der Veken, Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder is also well suited for high-end bonbons and truffles.Some of these are Antonio Bachour, named Best Pastry Chef in the world at the 2018 Best Chef Awards, Spanish Pastry Chef Oriol Balaguer winner of Grand Prix au Chef Pâtisser, 2018, and Chef Ron Ben-Israel , owner of Ben-Israel Cakes, a well-known couture cake studio in Manhattan. The French company was established in 1922 by Pastry Chef Albéric Guironnet, who wanted to produce the best artisan chocolate, balancing flavors and texture. Users describe it as being the creamiest of all Ghirardelli powder cocoa types, very well suited for decadent chocolate desserts.

If you’re looking for a chewy, fruity-flavoured sweet, try the irresistible taste of Rowntree’s ® Fruit Pastilles.When cooking with natural cocoa its acidic quality allows the batter to rise, resulting in airier, but drier baked goods. As it is Dutched cocoa, it is mostly recommended for non-baked products, but many users say that they have used it for any kind of product that requires cocoa in the recipe.
