Marou – 100% Cocoa Powder (Bag)

Description

We already offered Marou’s delicious natural cocoa powder in beautiful tins. A huge hit, and rightly so, we think, because you can already see the difference from most supermarket cocoa powders when you open the tin. The true color of cocoa. And then the aroma… And you haven’t even made anything with it yet. Yes, even then you’ll notice the difference – whether it’s chocolate milk or something else.

We now have the same cocoa powder, in the same quantity, also available in this bag packaging. For when you don’t need the beautiful tin – because they are beautiful, but once you buy one or two, you probably won’t keep the next one (unless you’re a very creative type), and in that case, a bag packaging might be just as convenient. It also takes up less space, and after all, the price is a bit lower. Well, we thought that was a good reason to offer this packaging as well.

More about the cocoa powder:

While supermarket cocoa powder is often chemically processed (alkalized), this one is a natural product. Cocoa powder. The way it should be.

That’s only possible with quality cocoa, and yes, you’ll pay more for that, but then you’ll have cocoa powder made entirely in Vietnam by Marou, using specifically Vietnamese cocoa, of course.

250 grams, so you can make a lot of hot chocolate or other treats with it. The cocoa also comes in a beautiful storage tin, handy for keeping it fresh (for years), but also nice to display, store something else in, or use for creative purposes.

But above all, it’s all about the cocoa powder. And it’s really quite different from what you know from the supermarket. It took some getting used to for us too, because of course we had memories of Grandma’s hot chocolate, and that remains a fond memory, but when we buy it like that now, it’s mostly unpleasant and not very flavorful, unless you add a lot of sugar.

Marou’s cocoa powder is rich, but in a completely different way, and so much more flavorful. You can smell it the moment you open the tin. And you can tell by the color, too—very different from the alkalized varieties (which are incredibly dark), much more of a beautiful chocolate color, and much more flavor.

Well, worth it, that’s all we’re saying, and even though you pay a premium, we personally wouldn’t want anything else. Unless it’s To’ak’s cocoa powder sometime. But this one from Marou is simply the current favorite at the Chocolate Sellers’ house.
