One product. A clear starting point.
Bulk cocoa powder, without the guesswork.
Our planned first offering is natural cocoa powder in a format suited to professional production. Know the processing type, fat range and pack size before you decide whether it fits your recipe.
If your application currently uses Dutch-process (alkalized) cocoa, do not assume a direct substitution. Test the flavour, colour and leavening behaviour in your own formula.

Our origin story, accurately told
Dominican cacao roots. A Canadian buying relationship.
Cibao Foods was created to connect the heritage of Dominican cacao with the needs of independent food businesses in Ontario.
We are developing our first offering with a focus on clear product information, traceable sourcing and practical conversations with the people who use cocoa every day. Final sourcing and shipment documentation will be confirmed before commercial availability.
Our role is focused wholesale supply: connecting Ontario kitchens with an ingredient, its documented characteristics and the practical details needed to evaluate it.

Questions from professional buyers
What you'll want to know.
Answers that separate the intended launch offer from details that require confirmation for a particular shipment.
Is this natural cocoa or Dutch-process cocoa?
Natural, non-alkalized cocoa powder. Its acidity and behaviour may differ from alkalized cocoa, so we recommend testing any recipe substitution.
What is the minimum order?
The intended opening format is one sealed 22.68 kg (50 lb) sack. Minimum quantities and sample availability will be confirmed before accepting orders.
What area will Cibao Foods serve?
Our initial commercial focus is Oakville, the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario. Delivery availability, fees and timing are confirmed with each enquiry.
Is the cocoa powder organic?
The supplier's Ecocert documentation lists cocoa powder under the U.S.–Canada organic equivalency arrangement. We still need to verify the certification and documentation applicable to the specific shipment before confirming an organic commercial claim.
Can I review a certificate of analysis (COA)?
A supplier COA exists for a September 2026 reference lot. The COA and current specification for the actual lot offered must be confirmed before an order is finalized.
Is cocoa powder available to order now?
We are taking pre-launch wholesale enquiries and assessing customer demand. We will confirm inventory and order acceptance individually; this website does not represent confirmed stock.
