Organic Cocoa Powder

Manufactured by Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate

The discoverers of cocoa, the Mayans, named it Kak Kow, meaning “God Food.” Few can resist the rich taste and decadent texture of cocoa. Whether it’s for confections, pastries, snacks, beverages or ice cream, cocoa powder adds the right appeal.

Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate offers a complete range of organic and conventional cocoa powders under the Gerkens® brand name. Founded in 1928, Gerkens is known for its high quality cocoa powder and technical expertise. Cargill’s product range includes low to high fat cocoa powders as well as alkalized (Dutch) and non-alkalized.

Cargill carefully selects and artfully combines the cocoa beans to create a selection of cocoa powders that stimulate the imagination as well as the appetite. The cocoa powders are processed from the nib to ensure flawless consistency of color, flavor and functionality; their high degree of fineness provides the benefit of the full release of color and flavor. Fineness also helps to control sedimentation in ready-to-serve chocolate drinks and the sandy taste in coatings. Cargill’s microbiology standards rank amongst the highest in the world, ensuring the quality and safety of your products.

Cargill’s Organic Cocoa Powders are from France and are Kosher.
