Black Onyx Cocoa Powder

Black Onyx cocoa powder is deeply dark with a smooth, mellow chocolate aroma. The flavor is less bitter than natural cocoa, with a rounded, understated chocolate taste that supports other ingredients. It’s heavily alkalized, which gives baked goods an intense black color without drying them out. This cocoa is best used for color and depth rather than strong chocolate punch.
