Bensdorp 22/24 Fat Dutched Cocoa Powder from OliveNation - 32 ounces

Well, the description was accurate, but it’s SO MUCH BETTER!

I was searching for at least a 20% fat content in a dutch process cocoa. There are many right around 20% and then I found Bensdorp 22-24%. I looked at the 5 star reviews and photos of the Bensdorp cocoa in order to assess if this was the one for me. I saw that the color was so rich looking compared to the other brands and that the reviewers had given Bensdorp the highest ratings, so I gave it a try. After opening the package, the aroma jumped right out at me and the color was gorgeous. Went to work making a chocolate layer cake with a chocolate buttercream using less sugar in the buttercream and I used salted butter. A bailey's irish cream mousse for a filling and I had made one of the best cake's we had ever tasted! Even better than the local gourmet cake bakery offers. The cake was so tender, moist and rich with chocolate flavor that it was to die for. And the buttercream with Bensdorp blew us away. Even my neighbors, whom I gave slices to, called or texted me to say that they had never had a cake as delicious as this one. I was told the cake part could stand on it's own but the filling and frosting sent this cake into the stratosphere of flavor. Bensdorp makes the finest dutch process cocoa on the market and I am a customer for life and hope to turn other's into Bensdorp customers. This high fat cocoa is hands down, bar none, the best cocoa I have ever tasted! Do yourself and your cocoa products a great favor, get some right away!

I've ordered this a couple times now and am very pleased. It's always perfect and delicious! I love that it's 22-24% cocoa fat.

I use it to reduce my consumption of acidic coffee (acid hurts my tummy). I make chocolate/mushroom powder, chcolate/cinnamon, and mocha. I’ve also used it t make puddings. It’s fantastic. Exactly what I hoped for. A rich, smooth dark chocolate taste without near as much acidity. It’s not the least expensive, but 2 lbs of it for almost drinks lasts me about 4-5 months. So the price is fine for me.

I use this cocoa to make chocolate ice cream. It truly does taste better. You get less of the bitter coca flavor in the ice cream. It mixes just the same as other cocoa, it just has a higher fat content which gives it a sweeter flavor.

Someone said this is like Ghirardelli Majestic. It’s not as rich or dark and I need more for the same effect in my dark drinking cacao that I make in the morning in lieu of coffee. I think it’s good but not as good as the Majestic. Still better than what you can buy in the small Vermont tundra town market (ie hersheys special dark).

Didn't realize what a difference cocoa for baking good quality cocoa for baking would make in my cakes and pastries and fluffy things! What a difference if you have not tried it you must try this... The rest will be up to you 😎🤙🐧

Fatty fat fat! This is yummy and delicious. it bugs me that all chocolate isn't this yummy. In fact any chocolate that doesn't keep the fat in should be labeled diet chocolate!! We are getting ripped off when we buy normal cocoa powder. Anyway... Great stuff, you should buy some! It will make all your chocolate adventures tastier!
