Product information "Organic cocoa powder, strongly defatted 10–12 %, roasted"
Product description
Biova organic cocoa is a finely ground, roasted cocoa powder from certified organic farming with a strongly reduced fat content of 10–12%. The beans come from Uganda and Congo and produce 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 supports a full-bodied yet well-balanced cocoa profile that is suitable for professional use as well as everyday applications.
You can use this organic cocoa in many ways – from hot chocolate and drinking cocoa to desserts and baked goods through 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 Congo, regions with a tropical climate and fertile soils. These conditions promote a pronounced aroma and consistent quality of the raw cocoa.
Cultivation / Production / Harvest
The cocoa is grown according to organic standards, harvested by hand and then fermented and gently dried. After roasting, the beans are ground, strongly defatted and filled as a fine powder for Biova.
Special features
This strongly defatted cocoa powder with only about 10–12% fat flows freely and is easy to dose. 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 Congo tend to be robust and earthy. Combining both origins with Biova’s targeted roasting results in a harmoniously balanced aroma profile.
Taste & aroma
The powder has an intense roasted cocoa aroma with subtle bitter and slightly nutty notes. In taste, the organic cocoa is full-bodied, chocolatey and clear, without excessive bitterness.
Suggested uses
- For preparing hot chocolate, cocoa drinks and shakes
