I bought this product previously, not realizing that I had an open container of another brand of cocoa powder which I needed to finish using. Once I opened the Droste Cocoa, I loved the rich chocolate flavor it gave my dishes. I quickly used up my first box, and recently ordered 3 more from Amazon. I highly recommend this product.
My mother used Droste's and it still is as flavorful as ever. I am ordering from Amazon because my store discontinued it. Thank you for carrying it.
They are a source of helpful input, inspiration, and the kindliness of sharing one's experience. I was very disappointed considering all the hype.
unfortunately, I was totally disappointed when using Droste. I looked high and low for it too, and paid $8/box thinking I would have an outstanding product.
. Droste may be wonderful for making devil's food, but did not hold up for the darker, richer chocolate that I was hoping for.
The finished 14" square X 4" high layer cake was very moist, but lacked the darker and richer chocolate expectations both in color and taste. In addition, it also allowed for the cinnamon taste to lean forward - which under the previous chocolate used, was considerably the faint surprise that flavor was meant to be.
But, I truly appreciate these posts. I appreciate all the information especially the comparisons to other cocoa powders.
I keep wishing I could love this cocoa, but I'm overwhelmed by it's chalky taste. I know others here feel very strongly for this cocoa and will disagree with me, but, following a hot cocoa recipe almost to the "T," I have consistently made the worst cups of hot chocolate of my life. I'm about to throw this cocoa out. My only hope is that it tastes better in baking, and perhaps my sister, the baker in the family can use it.
The Droste cocoa Product was shipped promptly and promptly gave me a surprise. It was Droste - Direct from Holland. With Dutch printing and all of the European signs of an imported item.None of the website info. or photos gave any indication of this reality.I have NOT used the product yet.
