Cocoa Powders for Manufacturers

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of cocoa powder, Schokinag recognized the need for a gourmet cocoa that could be used for high-end baking and pastry creation. We take some of our finest cocoa beans, carefully roast them and mill the liquor, then press out some of the cocoa butter, leaving just the right amount to give the richness needed for fine baking. Available in Standard, High Fat and Very Low Fat versions.

Standard Cocoa Powders



With experience of processing cocoa beans since 1923, Schokinag has developed the finest cocoa powder available. Our own dutching techniques and special in-house developments guarantee consistent high quality. We offer a wide range of our product mix that is characteristic of a rich, pure and delicious cocoa flavor. The intense color of our cocoa insures superior yield and economic usage. Schokinag provides the cocoa powder required for most applications. But for those special needs, we are capable of producing custom-made products as well. Schokinag is your reliable partner for product and market information.

Very Low Fat Cocoa Powders (Special Orders)



Schokinag is an industry leader in the production of high quality low fat cocoa powders. Using Super-critical gas extraction technology we remove cocoa butter to 0.5% without any loss in flavor or color. This sophisticated technique, developed in Germany, employs precise control of temperature and pressure with CO2 molecules acting as the solvent. In their super-critical liquid state, these molecules remove only the fat and not the more than 200 important additional components of cocoa powder. Less expensive methods use chemical solvent which alter flavor and color and have residues.

The super-critical process is a separate and additional step taken during cocoa production. The price of these very low fat powders is therefore significantly higher. However, Schokinag's position within this high tech industry allows them to offer prices which are often the most efficient.

Because most of the flavor of cocoa is contained in the fiber portion, very low fat cocoa is more concentrated in flavor and usage can be reduced by about 10% to achieve the same flavor intensity. Color of finished products is more complex and the use of additional low fat ingredients must be carefully adjusted by manufacturers.

The VLFR has the strongest flavor and darkest color in finished products and is therefore the most widely used. The VLF-S7 is slightly lighter in color and smoother in taste. The VLFN is used primarily where labeling declarations are a concern.

Storage Conditions At temperatures below 20 °C and at a relative humidity of below 60% in odor free atmosphere.
Shelf Life At storage conditions mentioned above: Min. of 24 months.
