Organic Cocoa Blend, roasted, strongly defatted, ground

Product description

Biova organic cocoa is a finely ground, roasted cocoa powder from certified organic farming with a strongly reduced fat content of around 10–12%. The blend of selected beans produces a medium to dark brown powder with a clear, chocolatey note.

Thanks to the strong defatting, the cocoa powder dissolves particularly well, flows freely and can be dosed with precision. Biova’s careful roasting process creates a full-bodied yet well-balanced cocoa profile that is ideal both for professional use and for the home kitchen.

You can use this organic cocoa in many ways – from classic hot chocolate and cocoa drinks to desserts and baked goods, all the way to creative patisserie recipes. It also adds an intense, pleasantly bitter cocoa note to muesli, shakes or selected savoury sauces.

Origin

The cocoa beans come from Uganda and the Congo, regions with a tropical climate and fertile soils. These conditions support a pronounced aroma and consistent quality of the raw cocoa.

Cultivation / Processing / Harvest

The cocoa is grown according to organic standards, harvested by hand, then fermented and gently dried. After roasting, the beans are milled, strongly defatted and filled by Biova as a fine powder.

Special features

This strongly defatted cocoa powder with only about 10–12% fat flows freely, dissolves easily and can be measured very precisely. It is ideal wherever an intense cocoa flavour is required with a reduced fat content.

Differences in origin and processing

Cocoa from Uganda often brings fruity nuances, while beans from the Congo tend to be robust and earthy. Combining both origins with Biova’s targeted roasting results in a harmoniously balanced flavour profile.

Taste & aroma

The powder has an intense roasted cocoa aroma with subtle bitter and slightly nutty notes. On the palate, the organic cocoa is full-bodied, clearly chocolatey and clean, without excessive bitterness.
