Cacao farmers and members of CONACADO co-op, José Hilario Mosquea and Elsa García stand together next to their cacao trees on their farm in the Dominican Republic

Grown by small farmer co-ops

This baking cocoa is made with organic cacao grown by farmer cooperatives such as CONACADO and FUNDOPO in the Dominican Republic. When farmers organize into co-ops they gain crucial market access, run their business democratically, and decide together how to invest in their communities. We've partnered with CONACADO since 2002, and are proud to have collaborated with them on implementing our USAID Cooperative Development Program. This program has supported the co-op in developing quality control and food safety procedures, improving farm productivity, and strengthening their credit union to provide better financial services to members' communities.

Four of our coffee team in front of the roasting machine

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.

Reviews

Not Just for Baking!

"No sugar is needed when adding this delicious cocoa to black coffee (try adding coconut oil as well). Some experimental work indicates that cocoa flavonoids have cognitive benefits, esp. with sense of direction and getting lost in a familiar place. That is why I started this because I am not a chocolate eater and get lost even with GPS. Over time, I have seen my worst episodes diminish. DO NOT EVER DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT!"

Q&A

Am I able to buy a single can or do they only come in packs of 6?
Hi DW, we sell our products by the wholesale case here on our webstore. If you're looking to purchase a single canister you may find it at your local natural foods store or food coop. Thank you for your interest!
how much each of potassium and phosphorus is contained in 1 Tablespoon of this cocoa?
Hi Richard, thanks for your question. We do not test for phosphorus in our organic baking cocoa. We do test for potassium, and it is included in our nutrition facts below the ingredients list on the webpage. https://shop.equalexchange.coop/collections/cocoa/products/organic-baking-cocoa-8-oz There is approximately 179 mg of Potassium per 1 Tbsp (5 g) of baking cocoa.
Can I use baking cocoa to make a non-dairy hot cocoa mix?
Hi Kim, the answer is yes! Our organic baking cocoa is vegan and makes an excellent hot cocoa when you add your non-dairy milk and sweetener of choice. Here's one of our tried and true recipes using our baking cocoa: https://blog.equalexchange.coop/classic-love-cocoa/
It says cacao from dominican republic & peru. So is it from bothe places or just DR? Thanks!
Thanks for your question. While our baking cocoa is primarily sourced using beans from the Dominican Republic, sometimes it is blended with beans from Peru as well.
Is this Dutch cocoa?
yes
Does the baking cocoa need to baked or heated or can it be used in items that are not cooked like a smoothie?
Yes, you should be able to use it smoothie just fine.
