 Love this cocoa powder!Jul 15, 2010
By Elaine Webb
I found the Saco cocoa powder at a grocery store and tried it once and loved it - then they no longer carry it. It has a much richer chocolate flaver far better than Hershey's or Nestle's so I was happy to find it on Amazon. Thanks!

 Not bad, just differentMar 16, 2010
By Jack Of Alltrades
"Just another soul"
We made chocolate sauce and hot cocoa and noticed a real difference in the flavor from the Hershey's cocoa we're used to. It might be described as milder or subtler or just different. It's non returnable so try it first. If you want Hershey's cocoa flavor this is not the cocoa for you.

nutrition info doesn't add upFeb 29, 2012
By Michael Roper
I love this cocoa, but if you're counting calories be aware that the nutrition info on the label (which you can view near the top of the product page) is a fairy tale.
A single serving (1 tablespoon, 5g) is listed as 10 calories yet contains 1g of fat, 2g of carbs, and 4g of protein (which comes to 7g and 33 calories, not 5g and 10 calories). So something, somewhere has to give.
I looked up this exact same product on the Saco site and they post different numbers (1g fat, 3g carb, 1g protein) which at least add up correctly on weight, but they don't include calorie information (which should be 25 calories if the nutrition information is accurate).
As I consume vast quantities of this powder in a low-carb diet, understating the calories by a factor of three or more is not a minor issue.
I'll keep using it, but with muted zeal.

SACO Cocoa Powder - Great Quality, Service, & PriceJul 14, 2011
By Jim H.
I used to buy this at Fred Meyer (Kroger) and like the taste as I use it to make hot cocoa in a huge insulated mug laced with two teaspoons of instant coffee to enhance the taste, but when the price shot up from $2.99 per 10oz. container to $4.45 within a few months I decided to try an alternative supplier. Amazon had it at $3.21 per container when bought by the case and with free shipping, so I ordered two cases on alternate days - July 4 & 5, 2011. They both were shipped on the day following the order and arrived in small town coastal Oregon on the same day, July 13. Interestingly, tracking showed that one case was shipped from Kentucky and the other from Arizona. The KY shipment was in its factory box, while the AZ shipment was double-boxed with the factory box padded on top inside an Amazon box. Both arrived with no noteworthy damage - only a couple of slightly dented containers, which are very susceptible to denting. Different packing standards in different warehouses?
This is marketed as baking cocoa powder but it makes very good tasting hot cocoa - I prefer the taste over that of Hershey's, and I have used both Hershey's Regular and Dark varieties.
As usual Amazon's service has been fast and efficient, and the price is a bargain.

Saco Premium Baking CocoaMar 25, 2010
By C. Parks
I've used this cocoa for several years. It gives a rich chocolaty flavor that I really enjoy. I especially love it for my recipe of no-sugar-added cocoa/coffee drink mix I make as a morning wake up, but also in homemade chocolate pudding as well as in any baking that calls for Dutch processed cocoa or is unspecified. The Saco brand of cocoa is a bargain, as is their buttermilk powder mix.
