Hidden Realities in the Cocoa Powder Industry: What Experts and Major Buyers Know
When discussing cocoa powder, most public conversations focus on flavor, color, and fat content. However, within the professional supply chain, there are deeper technical and commercial aspects that rarely surface in public discourse. Here are a few critical insights known among manufacturers, large buyers, and industry experts:
-
The True Impact of Press Cake Quality
Many assume that cocoa powder quality is determined solely by bean origin. In reality, the press cake—the intermediate product formed after cocoa liquor is pressed—plays a decisive role. The particle size distribution, residual fat levels, and pressing temperature can change the powder’s dispersibility and flavor release dramatically. Two powders made from the same beans can taste entirely different depending on how the press cake was handled. -
Undisclosed Heavy Metal Testing
Large buyers, especially in Europe and North America, often require cocoa powders to undergo strict heavy metal testing, particularly for cadmium and lead. While not always disclosed to smaller buyers, compliance with EU thresholds (<0.3 mg/kg cadmium for certain categories) can make or break a supplier’s access to premium markets. -
Alkalization Is Not Always Declared
While “Dutched” or alkalized cocoa is marketed for its darker color and milder flavor. The level of alkalization (pH adjustment) can be light, medium, or heavy, directly influencing solubility in beverages.At Cocoaku, a proud brand under PT Langit Nusa Internasional, we are committed to delivering premium-quality cocoa powders to the global market.
