Big Bags for Cocoa
Food-grade big bags for cocoa beans and cocoa powder: aroma and moisture protection, dust-tight construction, BRC IoP AA certified production in Turkey.
Cocoa is transported in two different forms with different needs. Cocoa beans are sensitive to moisture and readily pick up surrounding odours. Cocoa powder is fine, contains fat and needs a barrier to keep its aroma.

What to consider for cocoa
- Aroma and odour: Cocoa picks up foreign odours; an aroma-barrier liner both preserves the aroma and prevents odour transfer.
- Moisture: Moisture leads to mould in beans and to caking in powder.
- Dust leakage: For cocoa powder, a liner or coated fabric with dust-proof seams is preferred.
- Fat content: For products containing fat, check that the conditions of use in the declaration of compliance cover the product.
