Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder - Extra Brute

Cacao Barry's Extra Brute cocoa powder is an alkalized, Dutch-processed cocoa known for its intense reddish color and deep, penetrating chocolate flavor. Rich and bright with a subtle hint of bitterness, it delivers a bold cocoa presence that stands out in both baked goods and plated desserts. The Dutch processing creates a smoother, more rounded profile while enhancing its dark hue and dramatic visual appeal.

Its fine texture and high-performance consistency make it well suited for cakes, brownies, cookies, and decorative dusting, as well as ice creams and sauces where color and flavor depth matter. The vivid red-brown tone gives finished products a striking appearance, while the robust cocoa taste ensures balanced chocolate intensity without excessive sweetness.

Founded in 1842 by Charles Barry in Paris, Cacao Barry® began with a passion for sourcing exceptional cacao beans. Barry’s early travels to Africa in search of superior cacao laid the foundation for a brand dedicated to craftsmanship and innovation. Today, Cacao Barry offers a diverse range of cocoa powders with varying pH levels, fat contents, and flavor profiles, empowering chefs and artisans to express their creativity through chocolate.
