Its intensely chocolatey, slightly bitter flavor makes it a staple in baking and desserts. The texture is fine and powdery, with a rich, dark brown color.

Unsweetened cocoa powder should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. A pantry or cupboard is ideal. Properly stored, it can last for up to two years. Check for a strong, chocolatey aroma when using; if the smell is weak or musty, it's likely past its prime. Avoid storing in the refrigerator as condensation can lead to clumping and moisture absorption.
