About this item

• Born In Costa Rica – This Costa Rican cocoa powder is simply exquisite. The combination of altitude and climate provides this cocoa powder with unique characteristics; full bodied taste and heavenly aroma culminating in an intense and sweet chocolatey flavor. Dutch processed to cut down on bitterness, leaving you with a smooth as silk finish.
• You’ll Understand After Just One Sip – Not all gourmet cocoas are created equal…and this one is exceptional. Our 50% Cocoa Powder has a fully balanced rich taste with deep chocolate flavor, made with natural Costa Rican cane sugar added to soften the bitterness of the natural dark chocolate…Say hello to your new favorite cup.
• A Culinary Delight – Our premium cocoa is an irreplaceable ingredient in your culinary adventures…not just for hot cocoa on a cold winter’s day (although it’s great for that too). Try adding this to any drink, desert, or as an added spice in any of your culinary fantasies. Discover the joy of pure chocolate.
• Costa Rican Cocoa Is Unique – The volcanic soil of Costa Rica is not only ideal for coffee, but it’s also perfect for cocoa cultivation, allowing deep drainage and for more minerals to access the plants. Consistent weather and predictable temperature fluctuation heighten the process of maturation. In higher altitudes the fruits develop slower, characterized by a higher concentration of sugars, more complexity and density.
• Packaged To Stay Fresh – Our 50% cocoa is packed at the height of freshness in our reusable (and collectable) tin boxes to ensure the freshest quality premium cocoa powder. El Gusto is committed to delivering the freshest cocoa possible. If, for any reason, you aren’t completely satisfied with your purchase, please reach out so we can make it right.
