How to use it
Use it anywhere a recipe calls for cocoa or cacao powder — baking, brownies, smoothies, overnight oats, frostings, hot chocolate.
Reduce the added fat slightly in rich recipes. At 30% natural fat this powder behaves differently from the stripped-down kind, and a straight one-for-one swap can tip a batter greasy.
For drinks, sift it before whisking. High-fat powder clumps more readily than the dry supermarket sort; sifting solves it entirely.
The 4 lb bulk bag is the sensible option for a household that bakes often; decant it into a sealed tin for daily use.

✨ Temple Tip
Whisk a spoonful into your morning coffee with a pinch of salt. It is the least ceremonial thing you can do with ceremonial-grade cacao and it is very hard to stop once you start.
Frequently asked questions
What does triple fat mean?
It refers to the 30% naturally occurring fat retained in this powder — roughly three times the fat content of standard cacao powder, which has most of the cacao butter pressed out.
Can I drink it like ceremonial cacao?
You can make a hot chocolate with it, but it is not the same drink. Ceremonial cacao is whole bean with the butter intact and makes a fuller cup.
Is it sweetened?
No. It is unsweetened cacao powder.
Does the 4 lb size come in a tin?
No — the 4 lb size ships in a bulk bag. The 12 oz sizes come in tins.
How do I store it?
Sealed, cool and dark. Higher-fat powder is more sensitive to heat and light than the stripped kind, so keep it away from the stove.
