I highly recommend the coca sold here on Tme. It's by far the best Premium Dutch cocoa you can get. Be warned though, once you have tasted it, you'll realise how nasty over the counter brands are.

You mean this one - 541088010!I don't think I can afford to be that fussy when they are going to charge more for delivery than the cost of the actual cocoa powder.Would work out to about 3 times the cost of my Homebrand one which is also 100% pure cocoa and tastes just fine to me - same colour too as the Dutch one sold on here - dark, reddish brown with an overpoweringly chocolate smell when you open the packet.

Try the Homebrand one - it's even better than Pams although I do agree that Pams is also pretty good and definitely better than Bournville or Nestle

Home brand seems to have disappeared from my local countdown.

I thought so too but it was back in mine this week - repackaged into a bag but there it was in the baking aisle - $5.49 for 375g and worth every cent!

Bournville when down when they moved it to Oz from Dunedin. Like their drinking chocolate, when they moved it to oz they where putting more fillers (maize) in it to give it volume.
