What's the Difference Between Cocoa and Cacao Powder?
Cocoa powder and cacao powder are very similar. Cocoa powder is processed at a much higher temperature, resulting in a powder that is less bitter and slightly darker. Cacao powder is processed at a lower temperature and then milled into a powder that has a more bitter taste.
