Fat Content, and Why it Matters   

Much like the varieties of chocolate, fat content varies between each type of cacao powder.  A high fat content creates a more rounded mouthfeel and less astringent flavours. A low fat content means the natural bitterness and fruit flavours of the cacao have a much stronger presence, with a lower level of sweetness. This particular powder has a high fat content of 22-24% meaning the smoother texture compliments the silky, caramel flavour.
