Vilgain Organic full fat cocoa - raw cocoa powder with rich and natural cocoa flavour

Vilgain Organic full‑fat non‑alkalized cocoa is made from organic cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic. No pesticides are used in the cultivation process and drying is done in the sun. The beans are then fermented in the traditional way.

Unalkalized cocoa

Alkalization significantly degrades the beneficial substances that are naturally present in the cocoa bean. The non‑alkalysed type of cocoa retains mainly the powerful antioxidants flavonoids. These are antibacterial, promote hormone production and help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood circulation.

Alkalization is a chemical process that is generally used in lower quality cocoa beans and in meat production, as it reduces bitterness and suppresses acidity. Alkalized cocoa then tastes essentially the same.

Rich cocoa flavour and aroma

Unalkalised cocoa is naturally slightly acidic and retains the rich and complex flavour of the parent cocoa bean.

Great for cooking and baking

Cocoa powder has the second highest cocoa butter content (20‑22%), making it suitable for even the most discerning cocoa lovers. Great for cocoa drinks, cooking and baking. It has a dark colour and colours the dough very well.
