Anthony's Organic Black Cocoa Powder 454 g — Dutch-Processed, Unsweetened, Deep Black Baking Cocoa

Anthony's Organic Black Cocoa Powder is a USDA organic, Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa in a deep black color, ideal for intensified chocolate flavor in baking, confections, and handmade cosmetic projects.

This single-ingredient powder delivers a bold, nearly black appearance and concentrated cocoa aroma thanks to alkalization (Dutch processing) and a 10–12% fat content. It arrives unsweetened and non-GMO, verified gluten-free, and contains no artificial colorants — making it versatile for recipes that need strong color and pronounced chocolate notes without added sugars.

How will this black cocoa change my baked goods and desserts?

Because it’s darker and more intensely flavored than standard cocoa, the powder adds dramatic color and a roast-forward chocolate character without sweetness. Use it where you want a deep black-brown finish or a pronounced cocoa backbone in frostings, cookies, brownies, and truffles.

• Produces near-black crumb and glazes for visual impact
• Stronger chocolate notes let you reduce added cocoa or chocolate
• Works well in ganaches, cocoa rubs, and dark chocolate confections

Can I use this cocoa in non-food projects like soaps or scrubs?

Yes — the intense color and aroma make it suitable for homemade body care where a natural chocolate scent and brown-black hue are desired. Because it’s unsweetened and free of artificial dyes, it blends well into soap bases, sugar scrubs, and lotion bars for cosmetic use.

• Mix into cold- or melt-and-pour soap bases for rich color
• Add to sugar scrubs for scent and gentle exfoliation visual appeal
• Test small batches first to check colorfastness in your formula

What should I know about handling, substitutions, and measurements?

Black cocoa is more intensely pigmented and somewhat drier than natural cocoa powder, so recipes may need small adjustments. When substituting for regular cocoa, start by reducing the amount slightly and add a touch of fat or liquid if the batter seems too dry.

• Start by using 75–90% of the cocoa called for, then adjust to taste
• Add a tablespoon of oil or butter per cup of dry mix if texture tightens
• Sift before measuring to remove clumps and ensure even distribution

How is this product made and what certifications matter?

This powder is organically grown, processed with alkalization (Dutch process) to reduce acidity and intensify color, and batch-tested to confirm it is gluten-free. It is unsweetened and free of artificial coloring, highlighting pure cocoa traits rather than added ingredients.

• USDA Organic certified for ingredient and process transparency
• Batch tested and verified gluten-free for sensitive diets
• Non-GMO and unsweetened — no added sugars or colorants

Who is this for? Bakers, chocolatiers, home cooks, and DIY cosmetic makers who want a genuine, very dark cocoa without sweeteners or artificial dyes will value this product. It’s suited for anyone seeking a bold visual and flavor statement in desserts, savory rubs, or handmade soaps — especially those following organic, gluten-free, or non-GMO preferences.
