Our cocoa
One ingredient. Nothing added.
Grevista cocoa powder is single-origin Vietnamese Trinitario cocoa, roasted and milled by VNCACAO CO., LTD (Tbros) and distributed in the United States by Grevista. Cocoa is the only ingredient, so you choose the sweetness of every cup and bake.
Open the box and the first thing you notice is the aroma. The flavor is smooth and complex rather than flat and sharply bitter like typical grocery-store cocoa: gentle floral and fruity notes underneath, a natural sweetness even though nothing is added, and a clean finish that carries through into hot chocolate, brownies and other baking.
- Unsweetened, one ingredient
- Natural (non-alkalized): acidic, reacts with baking soda, sharper chocolate flavor
- Single-origin Vietnamese Trinitario, from a named producer
- Naturally rich in cocoa flavanols (235 mg polyphenols / 42 mg epicatechin per serving, per the product listing) — non-alkalized processing preserves more of these than Dutch-processed cocoa
- Roasted, not raw, and not certified organic: we say so plainly

“Exquisite. Very good. (translated from Spanish)”

Straight answers
Questions people ask first
Where do I buy Grevista cocoa powder?
On Amazon. Payment, shipping, tracking and returns are handled by Amazon. This website does not sell anything directly. Compare the three sizes on Our Cocoa.
Is Grevista cacao powder the same as Grevista cocoa powder?
Yes. People search for both names, but there is one product: an unsweetened, natural (non-alkalized) powder labeled Grevista Premium Cocoa Powder. Why the two words get used interchangeably is explained in cacao vs cocoa.
Is it tested for heavy metals?
A producer sample was tested in April 2022 by TSL Science, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited laboratory: cadmium 0.081 mg/kg; arsenic, lead and mercury not detected, meaning below the 0.003 mg/kg limit of detection; aflatoxins not detected. For context, the EU maximum for cadmium in cocoa powder sold to consumers is 0.60 mg/kg. This is a dated report on one sample, not a certificate of analysis for every lot. Read the full report.
Is it organic?
No. It does not carry USDA Organic certification, so we do not call it organic. We publish the lab results instead.
Natural or Dutch-processed?
Natural, non-alkalized. That makes it the right cocoa for recipes that use baking soda. See natural vs Dutch-process cocoa powder.
Did Grevista win the awards?
No. The 2018 Bronze awards went to the producer, VNCACAO CO., LTD, for its Tbros cocoa powder, and the 2019 Silver went to the same producer. Grevista distributes the producer’s cocoa powder in the United States.
