Introducing the Cacao Powder Collection
Au Naturelle
Comprising two completely natural, unprocessed cacao powders, the Naturelle range is perfect for those looking to create vegan chocolates and confections, where the ‘natural’ label is especially important – to chefs and consumers, alike.
- Nature Cacao is a low fat, natural dark-brown powder with a rustic, roasted cacao taste and notes of cherry, dry fruits and spices. Made from sustainably sourced, highest quality, West African cacao beans, it’s a versatile product, perfect for flavouring, colouring and decorating your culinary creations.
- Nature Fruitée is a natural light-beige coloured cocoa, boasting an intriguing tangy and fruity flavour. Originating from Santo Domingo, this single origin cacao powder combines a classic chocolate taste with notes of citrus and sweet spices, making it the perfect pairing for Cacao Barry’s Wholefruit Evocoa chocolate.
Trés Performante
If you’re looking for a cocoa powder that’s perfect for your specific needs, look no further than the Performante range. Bringing together three innovative cacao products with a variety of attributes, these alkalised (or Dutch-processed) powders offer everything the artisan chocolatier or master chef could want from a high-quality cocoa powder.
- Légère 1% is a very low-fat powder that offers a rich, fudgy chocolate taste, ideal for low calorie applications where you still want that indulgent experience. With notes of red fruits and hazelnuts, and a floral bouquet, Légère is perfect for bakery and patisserie uses, whether you prefer its light pink colour when dry, or its red-brown hue when wet.
- Noir Intense gives a unique and sophisticated, deep-black colour to biscuits and cakes, in addition to its strong and bitter cacao taste and cookie notes. Enhanced by a floral and sesame touch, this intense (as the name implies) cacao powder is a modern classic that chefs and bakers will love experimenting with!
- Décor Cacao is a pioneering cocoa dusting product: a hydrophobic cacao powder that keeps its colour, flavour and dry, matt appearance much longer than a traditional powder. This allows chefs to use it in their preparation without worrying about moisture affecting the appearance of your desserts, making decorating your tiramisu or cheesecake a dream! This high-fat, time saving innovation boasts a delicious chocolate biscuit taste, with notes of cereals and caramel, and a long-lasting, velvety, red-brown colour.
C’est Universelle
When you want the ultimate all-rounder with an intense cacao flavour, strong colour and smooth texture, you can’t go wrong with the Universelle range. These high fat, Dutched cocoa powders are a reliable, universally applicable product that have been specially developed with creative chefs, and will become a staple of any kitchen cupboard or patisserie chef’s toolkit from the first use.
- Extra Brute has been recognised by chefs as the world’s best cacao powder for decades, and its clear to see why. With a balanced, dark chocolate taste, enhanced by spicy and woody notes, and its vibrant reddish-brown hue, this high-fat, alkalised cocoa powder is a must-have ingredient in any chocolatier’s kitchen.
- Rouge Ultime boasts a characteristic deep, mahogany red colour, proudly displaying its single origin source – from the famed red cacao beans of Cameroon. With an intense and complex cacao taste, complemented by smoky notes and dried fruits undertones, this modern classic is perfect for creating unique flavour pairings and exploring adventurous, new applications!
- Plein Arôme is one of Cacao Barry’s iconic cocoa powders, delivering a comforting and familiar chocolate flavour, reminiscent of your favourite childhood chocolate cake. With notes of caramel, whole milk and almond, and a warm, autumnal brown colour, it’s easy to see why Plein Arôme is a classic.
Ethical and Sustainable Cocoa, Always
Cacao Barry pride themselves on their sustainability and ethics, from sourcing only sustainable cacao beans and supporting cocoa growers and their communities, to their Cocoa Horizons program and Barry Callebaut’s Forever Chocolate initiative.
In addition, the Cacao Powder Collection comes in environmentally friendly, easy-to-recycle packaging. Made from mono-material, the resealable bags feature a zip seal to keep air and moisture out and limit powder lumps, reducing waste and promoting eco—friendly practices throughout the supply chain.
Take your chocolatiering to the next level with the Cacao Powder Collection, and let your creativity run free!
