Baking Chocolate

Organic baking chocolate and cocoa from Just Natural, Naturya, Vego and Vivani.

Dark and milk chocolate drops, cooking chocolate, raw cacao powder, cacao nibs and cocoa.

Cacao and cocoa are the same bean treated differently. Cacao is cold-pressed and unroasted, so it keeps more of its flavanols and tastes sharper and more bitter. Cocoa is roasted at high temperature, which mellows it and darkens the colour. They aren't interchangeable by weight — cacao is stronger, so use a little less.

Dark chocolate is dairy free by nature. Cacao nibs are simply crushed beans with nothing added, which is why they're bitter and crunchy rather than sweet.
