FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS THIS COCOA POWDER SWEETENED? No, this is 100% pure cocoa powder with no added sugar or dairy.

CAN I USE THIS FOR HOT COCOA? Absolutely; it is highly concentrated and produces a rich, professional-grade hot chocolate when whisked into warm milk and sweetened to taste.

HOW SHOULD I STORE COCOA POWDER? Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent the powder from absorbing kitchen odors.

IS THIS PRODUCT GLUTEN-FREE? Yes, Valrhona cocoa powder is gluten-free, though it is produced in a facility that handles other allergens.

WHY IS IT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GROCERY STORE BRANDS? Valrhona uses premium beans and a specialized process to ensure a higher cocoa butter content and more intense flavor profile than standard retail brands.
