1. Determine the cocoa butter content. Grocery store cocoas are usually 8-10 percent cocoa butter. Really good cocoa has two to three times that. If it doesn't have a high cocoa butter content, it isn't good.
2. Check the reviews. Really good cocoa makes a magical difference in your baking. I know of no other baking ingredient that elicits such enthusiastic reviews as really good cocoa. If the cocoa doesn't have amazing reviews, keep looking.
3. Try it in a product. Try the brownies above, made with Ramstadt Breda Cocoa, and see how you like it.
4. Try it. We made that easy. It's only $2.00!
