Expert roasting unlocks full-bodied taste, while precision alkalisation ensures stability in pH and colour. From the effortless solubility of our Selection range to the refined sensory profiles of our Signature collection, we provide the tools to elevate your cakes, glazes, ice creams, and beverages.

  • Zestina Experience Plein Arôme: A 22-24% high-fat cocoa powder that evokes the warmth of home baking. With a pH of 6.8-7.2, it balances deep roasted notes with a hint of fruity brightness. Perfect for creating rich, round textures in baked goods.
  • Velvet Experience Full Body: True to its name, this powder offers a structured, round mouthfeel and a deep dark red colour. Intense and versatile, it adds "soul" to brownies and sponges.

When your creation demands a specific technical edge or a striking visual statement, the Signature collection delivers. These powders are crafted for high-concept pastry, dietary-specific recipes, and sensory masterpieces.
