Aficho High Quality Grade Cocoa Powder 10-12% Fat

Aficho’s high quality grade cocoa powder is crafted for applications where cocoa is a key driver of both taste and appearance. It delivers a rich, full cocoa profile with strong color consistency and enhanced stability, making it a dependable choice for premium formulations that demand precision from batch to batch.

Positioned at the top of Aficho’s 10–12% fat lineup, this high quality grade cocoa powder goes beyond the refined texture of the premium grade by adding tighter process controls for color and stability. The result is a more distinctive cocoa outcome — consistent enough for large-scale production, yet strong enough in character to anchor a product’s flavor and visual identity.

Applications for This Cocoa Powder

This high quality grade cocoa powder fits formulations where cocoa performance can’t be left to chance — where color drift or flavor inconsistency between lots would be noticeable to the end consumer.

• Bakery: premium cakes, patisserie items, and branded baked goods with a signature cocoa profile
• Confectionery: high-end fillings, coatings, and chocolate-style products requiring consistent color
• Beverages: premium cocoa drink mixes where flavor stability matters across production batches
• Dairy and ice cream: premium chocolate ice cream and dessert bases with a strong, defined cocoa identity
• Private label and export-facing products where formulation precision supports brand consistency

Natural vs. Alkalized Processing

Both processing options are available for this high quality grade cocoa powder, so manufacturers can align flavor and solubility with their specific product. Natural processing keeps a brighter, more acidic cocoa note suited to baking-soda leavened recipes, while alkalized processing delivers a milder, darker, highly soluble powder favored in beverages and dairy. Regardless of processing type, the tighter color and stability controls behind this grade carry through consistently.

Sourcing, Quality Control, and Traceability

Produced from Aficho’s operational base in Surabaya, East Java, this ingredient benefits from proximity to Indonesia’s cocoa-growing regions and rigorous in-house testing. Each shipment is checked for color consistency, moisture, fat content, and microbiological safety before release, giving manufacturers documentation to support internal specifications or export-market requirements without repeated re-testing.

Fat content in the 10–12% range is widely recognized across the industry as the medium-fat band used in most food-manufacturing applications, a classification referenced by the International Cocoa Organization. What sets this Aficho grade apart within that band is the added process discipline applied to color stability and lot-to-lot consistency, not a change in fat percentage.

Storage and Handling

Store this cocoa powder in its sealed 25 kg bag in a cool, dry warehouse away from direct sunlight and strong-smelling goods, since cocoa powder readily absorbs surrounding odors. Reseal the inner liner tightly after opening to protect color and flavor stability through your production cycle.
