Rainforest Red – Premium Non-Alkalized Red Cocoa Powder

Authentic Bold Flavor • Unsweetened

Rainforest Red is cacao in its most authentic and vibrant form. Non-alkalized and unsweetened, this red cocoa retains its intense flavor and rich red color, without Dutch processing to deliver the bold taste and striking red hue that only 100% cacao can provide. Perfect for rituals, hot cacao drinks, or baking that demands intensity.

Why Choose Rainforest Red?

  • Non-Alkalized – Never alkalized, so the cacao complexity and deep red color remain intact.

  • Unsweetened – 100% pure red cocoa powder, free from sugar, alkali, soy, or additives.

  • Bold & Versatile – Ideal for ceremonial drinks, wellness rituals, and baking where red cocoa adds richness and authenticity.

  • Independently Tested – Every lot is verified by ISO-17025 accredited labs to ensure compliance with international food-safety standards.

What Makes Rainforest Red Different

  • Naturally vibrant red cocoa hue

  • Distinctively bold and grounding flavor

  • No alkalization, no additives, no sugar

  • Quality confirmed by independent testing

Sensory Profile

Rainforest Red has the deep character of true red cocoa powder — earthy, rich, and slightly bitter with roasted cacao notes.. Expect a rich cocoa flavor with hints of roasted cacao, a pleasant bitterness, and a grounding finish. Its red hue adds beauty and authenticity to every preparation. When whisked into hot water or milk, it creates a thick, full-bodied cacao with a rustic edge that feels ceremonial in character.

What do you use red cocoa powder for?

It’s great for cakes, brownies, cookies, frostings, and especially red velvet recipes. Its rich color and smooth chocolate taste make desserts look and taste amazing.

What is the difference between cocoa powder and red cocoa powder?

The Santa Barbara Chocolate Red Cocoa Powder is NOT alkalized yet blended to be a beautiful color. It is a smoother taste with a deep red-brown color, unlike regular cocoa found at the grocery store, which is lighter color and not as rich mouthfeel.

Why is the cocoa powder red?

Santa Barbara Chocolate Red Cocoa gets the red color through skillful blending of different cocoa bean varieties. The Santa Barbara Chocolate Red Cocoa has a distinct flavor profile more true to the actual cacao bean when compared to alkalized cocoa.
