Our Story

deZaan, a brand of ofi, has been refining the art of cocoa excellence since 1911. Through ofi’s involvement at origin, we nurture cocoa every step of the way, from the farm to your kitchen. Refining farming, fermentation, and roasting to unlock the cocoa bean’s full flavor potential.

How deZaan Cocoa Powder
Is Grown and Made

Cocoa trees thrive close to the equator, primarily in West Africa, South & Central America, and Southeast Asia. Once harvested, the beans are removed from the pods and naturally fermented for 5-7 days, then dried and shelled. The remaining cocoa nibs are carefully roasted by our cocoa experts and ground into cocoa mass: liquid when warm, solid when cool.

A portion of the cocoa butter is pressed from the mass, leaving behind cocoa cake which is finely ground into powder, releasing the distinctive taste, aroma and color bakers love.

This is deZaan
Premium Natural Baking Cocoa.
