Sun Valley here.Great value for money.Made my own vanilla extract which is soooo much better than the supermarket bought ones.Tastier and stronger..

I have the Dutch "Blooker" cocoa which is very dark. I have also used Valrhona which is a French Cocoa and not Dutched,so a totally different taste.
Dutched cocoa is a milder cocoa as the acidity is removed. The Valrhona cocoa is very intense and bittersweet and is great for all baking.

...if i could use any cocoa powder in the world it would be the valrhona cocoa powder!!!...it is superb...alas my budget doesn't allow for it...nor my waistline...(although i thought all valrhona was dutched chocolate and called french because that was where it was from)
