· Product Description:
Alkalized cocoa powder, pure cocoa, unsweetened, is also a dutch-processed cocoa. Dutch-Processed or Alkalized Unsweetened Cocoa Powder is treated with an alkali to neutralize its acids. It has a reddish-brown color, mild flavor, and is easy to dissolve in liquids.
· Production:
To convert cocoa liquor to cocoa powder, a defatting process is performed by pressing liquor in a mechanical or hydraulic press at 400–500 bar and a temperature of 90–100 °C. In this way part of the fat (cocoa butter) is removed, and cocoa cake (compressed cocoa powder) is produced. Cocoa powder is obtained by grinding cocoa cake. Generally the fat content of cocoa powder is 10-12%,20–24%. Alkalized cocoa powder is processed with alkalization. The alkalization process is nowadays mainly applied to modify the flavor and color of cocoa powders.

· FAQ
· What is “Dutch or Alkalized Cocoa Powder” and how does it differ from“Natural Cocoa”?
Cocoa is a pure unsweetened powder made by extracting much of the cocoa butter from the cocoa mass. This leaves a dry solid cake, which is then sifted to a fine powder.
Dutched or Alkalized Cocoa Powder
Alkalized cocoa powder, or dutch-processed cocoa, is also unsweetened cocoa.
The name Dutch refers to a couple of things. Firstly it describes the process of making the cocoa powder. The cocoa bean is roasted, ground up and then treated with an alkali to neutralise it’s acidity. What does this achieve? It darkens its color and makes the cocoa flavor smoother and mellower.
Natural Cocoa Powder
Natural cocoa powder, pure cocoa, unsweetened, is a non-alkalized cocoa.
The cocoa bean is roasted and grounded and it creates an intense, bitter and rich flavored cocoa powder. It is also quite acidic.
