Askinosie was the first small-batch chocolate makers to make cocoa powder from scratch! They make their natural cocoa powder in their factory, using the same beans with which they make their chocolate, creating an authentic single origin cocoa powder with a rich chocolate flavor. A by-product of pressing cocoa butter (which Askinosie is one of the few chocolate makers to do themselves), this cocoa powder is unsweetened and non-alkalized and certified Kosher D.E. It is excellent for making hot cocoa, baking gourmet desserts, making sauces for drizzling and filling, dusting onto cakes, ice cream, truffles, dessert martinis, and more.
