questions?

What does 20–22% cocoa butter mean?
Our powder contains 20–22% cocoa butter for a more intense chocolate flavor and more consistent results when baking.
What is alkalized cocoa powder (Dutch process)?
Alkalized cocoa powder — also known as Dutch-process cocoa — is treated with natural salts after fermentation. This softens the cocoa's acidity, creating a more intense, rounder chocolate flavor, a darker color, and better solubility in milk and water. Surfstr is a premium alkalized cocoa powder with 20–22% cocoa butter, no added sugar*.
What is the difference between alkalized and natural cocoa?
Natural cocoa is more acidic and lighter in color; alkalized (Dutch-process) cocoa is milder, darker, and dissolves better. Thanks to fermentation and alkalization, Surfstr also goes further: about 10g per cup is enough, where standard cocoa needs around 15g.
Is Surfstr really sugar-free?
Surfstr is 100% pure cocoa powder with no added sugar*, no sweeteners, and no flavorings. It contains only the sugar naturally present in cocoa.
Where does the cacao come from?
From West Africa, Rainforest Alliance certified. Sun-dried and traditionally fermented in banana leaves.
How much do I need per cup?
About 10g per cup—roughly 30% less than standard cocoa for the same intensity.
What certifications does Surfstr have?
The cocoa is Rainforest Alliance certified. The powder is vegan, halal, kosher, and gluten-free. Surfstr is a member of 1% for the Planet, and we publish a lab certificate (COA) for every batch.
What can I use Surfstr cocoa powder for?
For baking cakes and brownies, for hot chocolate (about 10g per cup), and for smoothies and desserts. The 20–22% cocoa butter makes baking results more consistent and more intensely chocolatey.
How do I store the cocoa powder?
Dry, cool, and protected from light — ideally in the resealable original pouch. That keeps the aroma fresh for a long time.
Where do I find the lab certificate (COA)?
We publish the COA for every batch. Scan the QR code on the back of the pack.
Where can I buy Surfstr?
Currently exclusively on Amazon.de—with fast delivery across the EU.
