is this the same as the Baker's unsweeetened chocolate - what does Certo mean in front of the name?

Shipment I received is the Baker's, just like the pic. No idea what Certo is, maybe a parent company or distributor or something? My shipment had Certo included in the title as well, so you should get the right thing.

Yes, it is the same as the Bakers unsweetened chocolate. I am not certain why the 'Certo' has been added, but believe it refers to the fact that Certo is selling the chocolate. Baker has switched over to a 4 oz box.

I don't believe it's the same, but I've been pleased with the quality. I really am unhappy about Baker's recent size change with little or no reduction in pricing.

No. It's milk chocolate. I understand the question since there is a lot of white in the picture and no brown :)

My most recent shipment was in a light brown tin embossed with tree branches and flowers. (very pretty). My shipments prior to that were light blue with the same engravings. As much as I love these cookies, I would be hesitant to order them at this time of year as I think the chocolate will melt. I won't be ordering any more until the fall for that reason. However, I know your mother would love them.

I just checked one of my "back-up" cans in the garage and can't find that specific phrase anywhere. It's "Gluten Free" with "Zero Trans Fat!" "No Hydrogenated Oils!" "Zero Cholesterol!" etc., and is "Processed in a facility that also makes products containing eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts and tree nuts" but nowhere does it refer to kosher certification. Sorry! :-(

Yes, it is. It was rated by Cooks Illustrated as the number one DUTCH cocoa. I know - its not clearly labeled and I don't get that.

This is the dutch processed cocoa. It is refined differently and has a slightly different texture & taste. It's also more expensive. Some recipes call specifically for it. You could probably use them interchangeably, but why would you want to? I use it specifically for the recipes that call for it. I find that it's a darker chocolate.

I'm thinking it's a typo. Unless they made the foam from lard. "Strutto" means "lard" in Italian. But I can't see that being the case.

Hi Barbara, The gold wrapped Ferrero Rocher are the originals!!! The brown wrappers are the chocolate versions! Enjoy!!!

I don't know. The package doesn't look familiar, but, if I purchased it, I used it up months ago. Did I rate it? I can't remember. I'm sorry not to have more information for you. I know there are often questions about these products; one of the cacaos I am using now and liking has gotten good reviews except for one person, who tried to contact the company and ask why it tastes like Hershey's cocoa, and they didn't respond; the company, out of Arizona, also doesn't say the source. I've heard both good and bad about the "halla . . ." company-- I wish you success in finding information; with cocoa it is always bewildering-- I want raw, but some of the raw cacaos I have gotten have seemed full of chaff--

I prefer the PS may mean Professional strength. It has more (double) bromelain (from pineapple core) which is more natural and less pancreatin which is from animal. I originally bought the PS and then I bought the N but my wife didn't like the the N as much. I prefer PS I think it might be the original formula???

That confused me, too. I think it's the same thing and they just changed the name. The bottle is the same and the ingredients are the same. Just be sure it says, "Brunette". One of the ingredients should be cocoa or some cocoa derivative.

What you see on the label is probably what's in it. Or I'm sure you could contact the company to get a full disclosure. I haven't tried the chocolate yet.

I believe so. The texture and quality is good, however, it does not smell like chocolate. There is a new kind of cocoa being grown in South America and it is so mild it doesn't have the trademark scent.

When I ordered: I purchased the one that was "without sugar crust" and it arrived as Dark Chocolate. (I LOVE Dark Chocolate.)

Hey Joshua, that is a "fair question". Our cacao comes from certified fair trade farmers in Ecuador, who are certified through the Fairtrade Foundation. Every package size requires an application to the certifying body to carry their logo, and we are in the process of obtaining the logo for our packaging (as well as organic certification). Until that time, we simply state that the product is fair trade since the source is indeed fair trade. Does that answer your question?

I have no idea and there's nothing on the product that indicates it's origins. It's made by Belgoods Bakeware and they do have a website so you may way to contact them and ask the question. I've provided a link to their website. Good luck. http://www.belgoods.com

I think this may be posted on the wrong item. This listing is for chocolate chips not cookies.
