Indonesia sits at the heart of the global cocoa value chain, and ZenCocoa is proud to manufacture high-quality cocoa powder for brands and food producers worldwide. We specialize in both natural and alkalized (Dutch-process) cocoa powders, supplied in 25 kg food-grade paper bags with inner PE liner for safe handling and logistics efficiency. Whether you’re a beverage house formulating chocolate drinks, a bakery pursuing deeper color, or an ice-cream brand optimizing flavor release and fat balance, our portfolio is engineered for consistency, transparency, and scale.
Natural Cocoa Powder (pH ~5.2–5.8): Bright cocoa aroma, ideal for clean-label recipes and leavening systems relying on acidity (e.g., baking soda).
Alkalized Cocoa Powder (pH ~6.8–8.2): Smooth taste, reduced acidity, and enhanced color. Available in Brown, Dark Brown, Very Dark Brown, and Black (ultra-alkalized) variants to match target shades from milk-chocolate to near-black cookies.
Fat Classes: 10–12% (low-fat) for beverages and general bakery; 20–22% (high-fat) for premium mouthfeel in ice cream, chocolate drinks, desserts, and fillings.
Your production lines need reliability, so we back every shipment with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) detailing pH, moisture, fat, fineness (% through 200-mesh), microbiology, and heavy metals. Our manufacturing controls align with ISO 22000 food-safety systems, and our products are Halal compliant—meeting key buyer requirements across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. On request, we can provide nutritional data, allergen statements, GMO-free declarations, and stability guidance (including storage and moisture control in humid climates).
Standard packing is 25 kg paper bag with inner liner, palletized for container loading. Alternative packaging, pallet patterns, and labeling can be arranged for high-volume contracts. We ship via major Indonesian gateways—commonly Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) and Surabaya (Tanjung Perak)—with FOB or CIF terms depending on your preference. For customs classification, our cocoa powder is exported under HS Code 1805. Typical lead time is 2–3 weeks after order confirmation, depending on grade and slot availability.
Color is more than aesthetics; it signals brand identity and flavor expectations. We calibrate alkalization and milling to produce reproducible L*a*b* color values and controlled pH windows so your finished goods remain stable from trial batches to scale-up. If you’re transitioning from a legacy supplier, our technical team can run equivalency trials to match target color, dispersion rate, and flavor profile—often reducing time-to-approval.
Beverages: For instant cocoa mixes and RTD chocolate milk, choose low-fat grades with good wetting and dispersibility. We can advise on shear profiles and particle size for faster hydration.
Bakery & Confectionery: Dutch-process grades (Dark/Very Dark/Black) provide deeper color and compatibility with neutral/alkaline leavening systems.
Dairy & Ice Cream: High-fat cocoa boosts creaminess and flavor retention. Ask about fat-matching for your base formulation.
Specify your target (application, color, pH range, fat %, and any certifications).
Request samples for bench testing—we can include two to three close shades to speed decisions.
Confirm commercial terms (FOB/CIF, destination, expected volumes, and delivery cadence).
Lock specifications via CoA and product code so recurring orders are seamless.
ZenCocoa’s mission is simple: deliver stable quality, honest specifications, and dependable lead times so you can scale confidently. If you’re sourcing for long-run beverage lines, premium cookies, or dark cocoa applications, our Indonesian manufacturing base gives you both supply resilience and competitive shipping lanes across APAC, MENA, and beyond.
