Fat content, and why it matters
Much like the varieties of chocolate, fat content varies between each type of cacao powder. A high fat content creates a more rounded mouthfeel and less astringent flavours. A low fat content means the natural bitterness and fruit flavours of the cacao have a much stronger presence, with a lower level of sweetness. With a high fat content of 22-24%, this powder will be a sweet option with lower bitterness.
