Description

Cocoa powder is used in coatings and spreads, bakery and dairy applications, with Cargill offering the widest range of powders in the industry. DB82 is produced at Cargill’s Gerkens cocoa plant near Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. It has a relatively high pH, but tests across a range of applications have shown that this does not have a negative effect on taste, stability or processing parameters.
