Nature Commodities


Introduction

Not all cocoa powders are created equal. Some are overly processed and stripped of their flavour. Others lack aroma or depth. But when it comes to truly rich, balanced, and naturally aromatic cocoa, Indonesia leads the way.

At Nature Commodities, we source our cocoa powder from Indonesia, a region renowned for its volcanic soil, ideal humidity, and generations of cocoa expertise. Our powder is more than just an ingredient — it's a reflection of quality, sustainability, and flavour integrity.

Here’s why our Indonesian cocoa powder should be your go-to for baking, beverages, and beyond.

What Makes Indonesian Cocoa Powder Unique?

Indonesia is one of the world’s top cocoa-producing countries — and its powder is especially prized for:

  • Naturally bold, deep flavour

  • Smooth texture and easy solubility

  • Low acidity and balanced bitterness

  • Rich, dark colour that enhances any dessert

Grown in regions like Sulawesi and Sumatra, the beans are fermented, sun-dried, and ground using natural processes that retain maximum flavour and aroma.

How It’s Processed

Our cocoa powder is naturally processed (non-alkalized) — which means it:

  • Maintains its authentic cocoa flavour

  • Contains more antioxidants than Dutch-processed varieties

  • Offers a clean, natural finish ideal for premium applications

The result is a versatile powder that works beautifully in:

  • Gourmet baking

  • Vegan chocolate drinks

  • Artisan truffles

  • Chocolate sauces and spreads

  • Protein powders and supplements

Culinary Applications

Baking

Add deep, chocolatey notes to cakes, brownies, cookies, and tarts. The high fat content improves texture and mouthfeel.

Beverages

From hot cocoa to smoothies and iced mochas, our cocoa powder blends effortlessly and leaves no chalky residue.

Wellness Recipes

Perfect for health-forward brands creating high-antioxidant or vegan-friendly food products.

Ethical, Sustainable, and Traceable

We believe the best flavour comes with responsibility. Our cocoa powder is:

  • 100% vegan and cruelty-free

  • Sourced from traceable, ethical supply chains

  • Packaged in eco-friendly, food-safe materials

  • Produced in partnership with farmer cooperatives

By supporting small-scale Indonesian producers, you’re helping preserve traditional farming methods while ensuring fair trade and community development.
