    HERSHEY'S Natural Unsweetened Cocoa delivers quality every time. The texture is smooth and blends easily into milk. The aroma is rich and inviting, instantly giving that classic chocolate scent when opened. The taste is bold, slightly bitter, and pure, perfect for baking or mixing with milk. I also appreciate the simple ingredients, with no unnecessary additives, and the fact that it's gluten-free. The packaging is sturdy and resealable, keeping the cocoa fresh while being easy to store.

    Love this cocoa powder! It's on a more bitter side due to it being 100% cacao, but that's exactly how my family likes it! We use them to make various desserts like cookies, tiramisu, etc. Perfect way to make some delicious treats :)

    It like a hot coco kinda thing very nice and rich creamy. The packaging is really big according to me, for cold day I would mix it with warm milk and you’ll have a nice hot chocolate and on days I’ll add ice and can enjoy it. Very good and one box can last a long time.

    Great product if you ever decide to do a Keto diet and get a sweet tooth. You still get the chocolately taste and smell. My favorite dessert to make with this product is Keto brownies! My only complaint is the container in which it comes in. The lid is very flimsy and comes off very easily.
