Review: I use it mostly for cakes and cookies, biscuits etc. It is so good and chocolaty I was never tempted to try another brand. Not easy to find in the UK other than on the internet so as a last minute purchase with no time for looking up French groceries on line (no doubt a bit cheaper?!?!) I was happy to find this offer on desertcart. It arrived by post in just a few days and very well packaged. It is always the excellent product I have known for years.
Review: This is THE best Dutch processed cocoa powder for baking! I try to use it in everything I bake that requires cocoa powder. It adds a deep, rich chocolate flavour. I've tried cocoa powders from other countries but Van Houten's is the best I've tried. It's not easy to find so I was delighted to be able to order this on desertcart. However the packaging wasn't great in that the box of cocoa was shipped in a padded envelope so there was an amount of leakage.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the proportions to make a cup of hot chocolate?**
A: Depends on how you like it’s strong or not. I use 2 full teaspoons for 10 oz whole milk. If skim milk or 2% maybe a little less.

**Q: What is the expiration date for this product?**
A: Hello,
the expiration date is december 18th 2023

**Q: Is this "Dutch processed" as called for in recipes?**
A: Coenraad Johannes van Houten was the chemist and chocolate maker known for the treatment of cocoa mass with alkaline salts to remove the bitter taste and make cocoa solids more water-soluble; the resulting product is still called "Dutch process chocolate".(from Wikipedia).

**Q: Is this cocoa very dark?**
A: It is 100% cocoa.
