Our delicious organic Fair Trade certified cocoa baking powder is perfect for brownies, cakes, cookies and countless desserts.
The small scale growers of the CONACADO cooperative carefully cultivate their cacao trees with gentle, shade-grown, chemical-free farming methods. This creates the natural environment preferred by cacao trees as well as native wildlife and migratory birds. Then the co-op selects the best beans for special post-harvest processing, including a critical three day fermentation stage. Finally, in Holland, the cocoa nibs are dutch processed to create this premier baking powder.
