Organic Cocoa powder - lightly de-oiled, 125 g

The fat content of a cocoa powder directly determines its aroma intensity. Heavily defatted cocoa still contains around 10% cocoa butter – it is lighter in colour and less aromatic. RUF Cocoa powder lightly defatted retains at least 20% of its natural fat content and thus its full flavour: a deep, dark colour, a creamier consistency when stirred in, and a full-bodied, slightly bitter chocolate aroma that is clearly present in doughs, creams and drinks and noticeable from the very first bite. From controlled organic cultivation, unsweetened and without additives – 100% pure cocoa in organic quality, gluten-free and vegan.

Lightly defatted cocoa is the right choice wherever chocolate intensity matters. In creamed batters for chocolate cake, brownies and Gugelhupf (Bundt cake), it provides a robust chocolate note and a dark colour that impresses as soon as the cake is cut. In brownies, the higher fat content of the mixture gives the dense, moist texture that makes a truly good brownie – a difference in quality you can taste with the first bite. In mousse au chocolat, chocolate creams and ganaches, it lends a velvety depth that heavily defatted cocoa simply cannot achieve, and in icings and fillings it adds colour and aroma without introducing additional sugar.

It also excels as a decoration: finely dusted over tiramisu or desserts, it gives the surface an elegant, matt-dark patisserie look. For truffles, lightly defatted cocoa powder is the classic coating – roll the shaped balls generously in it, shake off excess powder, and you get a velvety matt shell that melts on the tongue and perfectly showcases the chocolate filling.

Store the cocoa powder dry, well sealed and at room temperature, protected from heat and moisture, as it absorbs both and can clump or pick up foreign odours. After opening, reseal the packaging carefully and use promptly so that the fine cocoa aroma is preserved at its full intensity.

This cocoa powder is the choice for everyone seeking the full, unadulterated cocoa flavour in brownies, creams, ganaches and drinking chocolate – and knowing that this difference is noticeable from the very first bite. Full-bodied, aromatic and natural, from controlled organic cultivation, gluten-free, vegan and sugar-free – because genuine chocolate flavour is no coincidence, but begins with the right cocoa.
