Choose The Cocoa Powder You Need Here

Tulip has several cocoa powder products you might need. Here is our recommendation for cocoa powder that you can use in the chocolate paste recipe.

1. Tulip Noir Cocoa Powder

For the first recommendation, we have Tulip Noir Cocoa Powder. It has a cocoa fat content of 10 - 12% so you will get a strong cocoa flavor. Besides using it in the chocolate paste recipe, you can also use this cocoa powder for dipping sauces, syrups, frostings, and glazes.

Tulip Burgundy Cocoa Powder has the same cocoa fat content as Tulip Noir Cocoa Powder which is from 10% up to 12%. It has a deep reddish-brown color, like burgundy wine. 

3. Tulip Bordeaux Cocoa Powder

Another special cocoa powder product from Tulip is Tulip Bordeaux Cocoa Powder. It has a cocoa fat content of 22 - 24%. You will get a much richer cocoa flavor in the chocolate paste if you use Tulip Bordeaux Cocoa Powder.
