Thanks for the wonderfully informative article! Could you tell us a bit about cocoa storage? I find bags or small tins of cocoa annoying to deal with when I'm baking, and would like to store my cocoa (I have 2 kinds in my pantry) in glass canisters or plastic buckets the way I store my flour and sugar, but have heard that cocoa should be in an opaque container. Is this true? And what about shelf life? Do natural cocoa and Dutch cocoa have different shelf lives? Is it better not to buy cocoa in large quantities if you're not going to use it up within a few months? Thanks again!
