Mln21: Ghirardelli Cocoa, Unsweetened, 8 oz: Use to be good, years back.
Sorry folks, but the old 1970's-early 1980's stagflation "fix" has hit this Baking cocoa.
Don't know when since 2017 this cocoa had it's fat & fiber reduced, but it's no longer better than Trader Joe's 9oz $3.49 Columbian cocoa (yes, Columbian, support their non drug business!).
My April 2017 bag shows 1.5G/2% fat, 1g/5% saturated fat and 2g/7% fiber, much higher than current.
Been using TJ's cocoa for many years but ran across this old GC bag and used it and it was very good. Bought a new one and it's the much reduced Cocoa Butter content and... no better than the TJ's cocoa.
FYI it use to be called 'Premium Baking Cocoa _ 100% Cocoa', it's now called 'Premium Baking _ 100% Cocoa'.

John S: I use 1 heaping teaspoon daily in my English Breakfast Tea. High polyphenol content of cocoa powder provides numerous health benefits.
Cocoa contains cadmium which is a toxic metal. Ghirardelli's cocoa cadmium levels are amongst the lowest on the market.

Graydyn Young: This is my go-to cocoa powder because it tastes good and third party testing shows it is much lower in cadmium than most cocoas.

judy blundell: This is my favourite cocoa for cakes and most chocolate recipes. It has a very good flavour.

Kris K.: - This is *not* "Dutch Process" cocoa, or at least, hasn't been, and hopefully will never be! That matters because the "Dutch process" removes the good antioxidants. In my opinion, it also removes the richness of the flavor, not a good thing in my personal opinion ;)
- I really REALLY like Ghirardelli cocoa, because it has the richest flavor for its reasonable price-point. (The same is true of their baking and their sweetened chocolate, but this review is supposed to be for the cocoa, LOL!) The Ghirardelli cocoa always has a nice, silky texture, great aroma, rich flavor, and excellent blendability. You have to pay *much* more to get superior cocoa, if you can even find it.
- The cocoa I ordered also seems to be more fresh than what the local grocery tends to sell. And I don't have to drive all over finding a grocery which actually has it in stock....

- I *am* a bit up-and-down regarding these new "pouches" but only because they aren't recycleable locally - the other containers were. But the cocoa *does* keep very well in them, and they *do* re-seal tightly (it's a kind of "zip" type seal), so the packaging does certainly do what it's intended to do - I only wish I...

JoJo: One of the best powdered cocoas you can get. It rivals speciality high end products such as Valrhona that cost 3 times as much. Slightly cheaper here than at my local grocery so I use it as an add on to reach my 5 Subscribe and Save items and get maximum discount on all. Makes a great Chocolate sugar cookie. Blend 1c unsalted butter 1.5c sugar 1 egg 2 tsp vanilla, then sift together and add 1.5c flour, a generous half cup Cocoa, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, half tsp salt. Mix until combined, do not over mix. Refrigerate dough for 24-48 hours for best results before baking. Roll into balls, roll ball of dough in granulated sugar and bake on parchment or non-stick sheet or mat at 350F. Baking time between 10-18 min depending on size cookie you make. These are particularly great when made very large with about 3+oz dough per cookie, but still fine when made tiny(just be sure not to over bake if small). Best when baked with dough chilled and do not flatten dough balls at all on sheet. You may have to let dough warm a bit to make balls which is fine, but putting them back in fridge or even freezer for 5 min before baking makes for a better cookie if you have the time. If you...
