High-quality cocoa powder generally has an optimal particle size ranging from 10 to 20 microns. This fine size is critical for a smooth texture, enhanced flavor release, and proper mouthfeel. Manufacturers use laser diffraction or dynamic light scattering instruments to continuously measure and verify particle size distribution during milling.
