Description
Ingredient: Organic Cocoa processed with Alkali
Cocoa powder comes from cocoa beans. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted and cracked into nibs. Then, the nibs are pressed to remove 75% of their cocoa butter. This leaves us with chocolate liquor. The pasty liquor is dried and then ground into unsweetened cocoa powder.
Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder, sometimes called "alkalized," "European style," or "Dutched," is cocoa powder that has been washed with an alkalized solution to bring its natural acidity down to a pH of 7, unlike natural cocoa powder, which can have an acidic pH between 5 and 6. It has a smooth flavor with less citrus notes than the unprocessed version.
