Viva Naturals Certified Organic Cacao Powder (2lb) for Smoothie, Coffee and Drink Mixes

Very good taste n nutritive

Exceptional Cocoa — The Best We’ve Ever Tasted I decided to try this non-Dutch process cocoa powder after seeing it featured on a cooking program, and all I can say is wow. One sip was enough to understand why it sells out. As a hot chocolate, it’s unbelievably creamy, deeply chocolatey, and slightly bitter—in the best possible way. We’ve been consuming organic raw cacao for over 2 years, including fermented varieties and much more expensive brands from Health food stores, and this is hands down the best-tasting and highest-quality cacao we’ve ever had. We only switched because our usual brand was unavailable, and I’m honestly so glad it was—this is a major upgrade. Viva’s cacao is smooth, rich, and full-bodied, without that harsh, biting bitterness that so many others have. It’s perfectly balanced. We often drink it hot with just water and no sweetener at all—it truly doesn’t need one. Sometimes we add honey or coconut milk, and it’s equally fantastic. It’s also incredibly versatile. I use it in homemade non-dairy ice creams and gelato, where it adds a luxurious chocolate flavor without overpowering fruit. I use it in puddings, in my hot lion’s mane drink, blended with coffee for an incredible mocha, and even mixed into raw organic chocolate wafers to boost cacao content while reducing sweetness. It performs beautifully in every application. What really sets it apart is that it still tastes amazing even when diluted or used as a secondary flavor, something we’ve never experienced with other cacaos. As long as Viva maintains this level of quality, this will be our go-to cacao, and I’ll continue recommending it to everyone I know. Truly outstanding. Thank you, Viva—this cacao is wonderful! Btw, we sometimes will add mint leaves to make it a "Chocolate mint" flavor. yummy!

Ok...I just received this Cacao Powder in the mail. It was a day early :) Like that! I have to say that people were saying it tastes so rich and full of flavor. One even said that she wet her finger and stuck it in the bag and it tasted good. No bitterness. Like a chocolate bar. Sorry, but I didn't get the same result. I have made me and the Man a cup with just water. It doesn't taste good. I wasn't looking for taste though. I was looking for good results with cholesterol buildup. So, I will be back on that one. I do know that it isn't bitter like the regular cocoa that I have been drinking as a child. If this was used as a hot chocolate, chocolate shake or smoothie, Honey, it would be Delish. I will do that from time to time, but right now, I'm interested in our heart, brain and artery health and this can provide what we need. I will get back to you after a couple of weeks. This should help with our blood pressure. The cost was fine for the richness. It blends really well in warm or cold water. Can't wait to see our energy levels go up. It's supposed to help with your metabolism. Pure ingredients makes me feel at ease with this product. I think it is a good quality too. Thanks for this product.

God quality. I use for vegan deserts with beans and tofu and covers up bean flavors

Awesome taste

I am currently using 1 Tbsp in a 1.5 cup coffee cup every morning to help generate new stem cells, as pure dark chocolate (CACAO) is so healthy in so many ways. Love that it is pure with zero additives. And a nice big bulk sack that is re-closable, too.
