These six brands are guaranteed to please. Nu Naturals This fair-trade Dutch cocoa falls into the range of 22 to 24% cocoa butter, which is more than twice the fat of most supermarket offerings. While it has a deep chocolate flavor, it isn't as earthy as other brands, allowing some of the cocoa's fruitiness to pull through. Cacao Barry Extra Brute Another Dutch cocoa in the 22-to-24% range, Cacao Barry Extra Brute is rich and aromatic. This brand has been Stella's go-to for years; its deep color and richness lend a dark chocolate punch to any recipe. Callebaut CP777 Made with a blend of beans from West Africa, as well as from Central and South America, Callebaut's CP777 has a well-rounded chocolate flavor that's classic but complex. Bensdorp Royal Dutch Bensdorp is a Dutch chocolate company with a 175-year-old tradition to its name. Its "Royal Dutch" style of cocoa uses West Africa–sourced beans that are more darkly alkalized than many other styles, giving it a gorgeously dark color and earthy flavor. |
