UPC Code:034000635054

Add the rich taste of chocolate to your cakes, brownies, and other pastries with HERSHEY'S natural cocoa powder.

Whether baking cookies, cakes, or macaroons, cocoa powder is a staple in any ice cream shop, bakery, or restaurant. Cocoa powder comes from the cacao bean, a fully fermented bean of the tropical Theobroma cacao plant. Once cocoa butter has been extracted from the cacao beans, the remaining dry substance called cocoa powder, or simply cocoa, has a distinct taste. Satisfy customers of all ages, and your chocolate-lovers among them, with rich cocoa flavor!

Rich, Chocolate Flavor

Thanks to the rich taste, HERSHEY'S natural cocoa powder can be used to create irresistible chocolate cobblers, decadent chocolate sauces, or smooth chocolate frostings. Or, add milk and marshmallows to warm your customers up with a cup of frothy, creamy hot chocolate.

Airy and Light

This cocoa powder has a light brown color and a soft, floury texture. It is best suited for use with baking soda, rather than baking powder, when baking.

Hershey Foodservice Brand

Hershey Foodservice is a leading North American manufacturer of chocolates, confections, toppings, and baking products. It all started with Milton Hershey, who began producing milk chocolate in 1905 in the town that now shares his name. Though chocolate was once a luxury for the rich, Milton Hershey helped make it more accessible and affordable for everyone, and Hershey's Foodservice products are now known the world over. Hershey, Pennsylvania is known as Chocolate Town USA and for good reason; as soon as you offer Hershey's Foodservice products at your business, your customers will recognize a brand that stands for nothing less than quality, freshness, and great taste!

Great cocoa! We use this in many recipes. WebstaurantStore has the best price and with Plus, it ships for free! Great product to have on hand. It is in a paper bag so be prepared to transfer into a sealed container.

We use this cocoa powder in our double chocolate cookies. Really does seem to be a better product than some of the off brands. The price is right on Webstaurant.

This product exceeded my expectations. It shipped the next day and I was very happy about that. I used to buy the small ones at our local store and I was looking for a place to buy a big one for my business and I am very happy that I’ve found this store and this wholesale product. Definitely will buy more once I finish it!

This is the chocolate powder I would buy at the grocery store which is wayyyy more expensive per 4oz. I'm so glad they sell this is 5 pound bags because I go through a lot of it. It's great in flavor and texture. This chocolate has great quality to it for sure.

I use Hershey's as a substitute when I can't get Valhrona in stock. It does pretty well, but once you've been spoiled on great cocoa it's hard to go back! Definitely be sure to sift before using in recipes, otherwise you'll have lumps of cocoa in your baking.
