Review: Lovely + (Valrhona, starbucks mini comparison) - Lovely soft, creamy, delightful cocoa powder. No harsh bitterness at all. I make it with whole milk, two heaped spoons of powder, and a capful of Monin salted caramel syrup. It's so luxurious. My sister came over the other week, and agreed it was lovely. I ran out of it a few days back and gave the much vaunted Valrhona a try. Although it had a very strong chocolatey taste, and lingering aftertaste, it just didn't have the same luxurious mouthfeel. I might buy another tin of Van Houten and try a spoon of each to see if I get something approaching the best of both worlds (decadent, I know! lol) The Valrhona is over twice the price but only needs one spoonful for a good flavour delivery. However, even with two spoonfuls it doesn't feel as luxurious. If you're a big cocoa drinker then the price is kind of high. And the Valrhona is too high priced for me as a regular drink. But as a treat once a day it's fine. You feel like you're drinking a premium product. The Van Houten doesn't dissolve as well/completely as the Valrhona though, so can leave a little sediment in the bottom. I also tried the new Starbucks cocoa this week. It's sweetened with sugar, so is actually a chocolate drink, but whatever, it's thin and watery compared to the Van Houten's, or the Valrhona for that matter. You are getting what you pay for imho, and as the Starbucks is £4.99 for 130gm less than the Van Houten's, the difference is price is nowhere near representative of the difference in quality: Van Houten's being way better. Hope this rather unstructured and hurried (it's bedtime!) review was helpful anyway.
Review: Best cocoa powder I tasted in a vintage looking metal tin. - I love this cocoa powder. I love the vintage looking metal container it is in. When there is no more cocoa left the beautiful tins with metals top lid will be put to good use. I bought three of these. It is more expensive than if bought in a plastic container but I can use the gorgeous tins the cocoa came and the taste is the best I have tried so I consider it good value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this product 100% cocoa powder ?**
A: This product is 100% cocoa powder.

**Q: Bought mine in Bruges. It says add one teaspoon of the power and two teaspoons of sugar for making hot chocolate. Is the sugar really required?**
A: NO!!! As you can drink sugarfree coffee, you can drink cocoa without adding sugar or you replace it by a sweetener (fructose, etc)

**Q: Is there sugar in this product or just pure cocoa?**
A: There is no sugar in this product.  It is the best and smoothest cocoa I have ever had. I normally use a tablespoon of cocoa for a mug but with this product I only need a teaspoon.  This cocoa is not bitter like the Valrhrona cocoa.

**Q: is this warm brown, full brown, robust red , deep brown, or deep black  cocoa?**
A: It's an unsweetened, reddish-brown and the beauty of this splendid cocoa is, it is not bitter tasting in any way. Way back in Crete in 2007 while on vacation I found this Van Houten's. It really tastes divine. You even use Canderel sweetener sticks in place of sugar. It is lovely cocoa, memorable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favourite cocoa
*by M***A on 18 July 2023*

I love this. We actually use it to make chocolate ice cream as well as a hot cocoa. We use a no churn recipe (add to condensed milk and cream) Mix /whip it up and we put it in an Ice cream freezer bowl to churn (not necessary) then freeze. The best ice cream. Can add vanilla or chocolate chips. But it’s lovely. Always have this in the cupboard. Winter brings in the cocoa!!
