Details

This Ghirardelli 25 lb. superior dutch cocoa powder is the perfect versatile cocoa powder for your establishment! With its full-bodied, well-rounded flavor and medium brown color, this cocoa powder will enhance the look, aroma, and taste of your baked goods, beverages, and confections. Use it for cakes, muffins, mousse, ganache, and truffles. It even enhances signature mochas, hot chocolate bases, gelato, and chocolate ice cream bases with its exquisite, bold chocolate flavor.

Ghirardelli uses the heart of the cacao bean, called the nib, to create this premium dutch-processed, nib-alkalized cocoa. The nibs are ground, pressed, and pulverized to release their intense flavors. They are then treated with an alkali to neutralize acids. This process gives it a darker color and a deeper, more rich flavor that complements other baking ingredients.

Customers will recognize and trust the Ghirardelli name when they see it in your cafe, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, or restaurant. Ghirardelli began with a young Italian chocolatier in the early 1800s and is now a brand widely known for its rich flavors. This sense of quality is the result of Ghirardelli's commitment to control all steps of the chocolate-making process, from roasting the cocoa beans, to refining the product for smoothness and well-balanced flavor. In addition, the company understands that sustainable sourcing and knowing the origins of the cocoa beans speaks to the quality of the finished product. No matter what dish or drink you prepare, guests are in for a treat with this superior dutch cocoa powder!

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

What is the difference between Dutch cocoa and natural cocoa?
At first glance, Dutch-processed cocoa is darker in color than natural cocoa powder. Though both types of cocoa powder are acidic, Dutch cocoa powder has been washed in a potassium solution to neutralize its acidity, which produces its dark, rich color. Natural cocoa powder tends to have a lighter color because of the acids left intact. Most cocoa powder you will find in American grocery stores is natural cocoa powder. In terms of baking, Dutch cocoa powder is often paired with baking powder, whereas natural cocoa powder is usually paired with baking soda.

Sweet Ground Dark Chocolate & Cocoa

I own a small bakery, and one of my most popular cookies is the Tuxedo (dark chocolate white chip cookie). We sell out every week, and for good reason. I’ve been using the Hershey’s Special Dark cacao powder, but cannot source it in bulk, which for time and cost purposes, is rather important. I ended up on Webstaurant looking for baking spices for my holiday cookies, and started to browse, as one does, and found this 25 lb. answer to my problems! Ghirardelli is a well know and respected brand, so after crunching the numbers, and realizing I could be saving upwards of $70 by switching and buying in bulk, it was a no-brainer! That being said - this chocolate/cocoa powder did not work for what we intended (see video) but we were able to use it to make those popular hot cocoa bombs and EVERYONE loved them!

Should be indicated that this is in fact not to be used as cocoa powder, and strictly for beverages, and potentially buttercreams. Will cause baked goods to sink, and crack, and icings to split/separate.

Thank you for your review, James! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

There is no white chocolate powder quite like the Ghirardelli white chocolate. We use it in our coffee shops and the customers absolutely love it! If you want to make an amazing white mocha, you need this white chocolate.

This powder makes rich tasting hot cocoa. Tastes great with milk. However, we prefer to mix in a little bit more to make it a little bit thicker. Have been repurchasing this product.

This is a really great value for cocoa powder so I will definitely continue to purchase. I use this cocoa powder in brownies, cakes, cupcakes, frostings and cookies and is quite versatile for all. However, I was surprised to find it doesn't have as much chocolate flavor as I would like. When using this cocoa powder in my bakery recipes I either have to increase the amount of cocoa powder used or pair this with natural cocoa powder in order to get the depth of chocolate flavor I am looking for.

Poorly packaged and damaged in transit. I gave 2 stars because they did refund me. However, they need to work on packaging because this is not the first item to arrive damaged.

This was not flaked white chocolate as we expected, however has a sugar like texture, combined with what looks like coffee mate, sounds gross but tastes divine. It makes the most amazing white hot chocolate when you stir four tsp into a mug of hot milk, and stir the same amount into freshly brewed coffee,( we have a senseo) and you have the most luxurious white mocha you can imagine. Rich, tasty and not too expensive this is worth every single naughty calorie. Oh and Hubbie says that it tastes awesome straight from the spoon in all it's grainy glory.

In my opinion Ghiradelli makes the best chocolate due to the smoothness and deep flavor, and this definitely applies to their dutch cocoa powder. It has a very rich chocolate flavor. But is is not acidic like other lower quality brands, and it has a very smooth tasting experience whether made into cocoa or in baked products. Can't beat this cocoa powder.
