Chocolat Madagascar 'Grand Cru de Sambirano' Cocoa Powder Non Alkalised 1kg

I recently bought a Sirtfood diet book and found it to be an inspiration. Non alkalised cocoa is hard to find in the UK. This stuff has the characteristic bitterness of natural cocoa and comes double packed in think black plastic protecting it from harmful UV and keeping it fresh. I use it in baking, cooking and making hot cocoa and mocha! Thank you!

Once you start drinking this non alkalised cocoa powder from Madagascar's Sambirano rain forest with its distinctive fruity taste and hint of bitterness you could never return to the European or American products again.

This is interesting and a lot paler in colour than the usual treated cocoa we are mostly all used to buying.If you would normally use a teaspoon or a teaspoon and a half to make a cup of cocoa then you could probably double the quantity without it tasting too strong. I like to heat it with a slit piece of vanilla pod and ideally use maple syrup rather than sugar for the sweetening as that always gives a better flavour to all cocoa. You will though need some storage containers for this item as the pack is just as it looks: a black sealed poly bag inside the outer one and stuffed with cocoa.

Lovely cocoa, I was very pleased, nice and chocolatey with almost a fruity flavour, really nice as my night time drink. Would buy again for sure.
