Alkalised Cocoa Powder 10-12% Fat Content
Dutch processed cocoa, Dutch cocoa, or
Alkalised cocoa, is cocoa solids that have been treated with an alkalising agent to reduce the natural acidity of cocoa, giving it a less bitter taste compared to "natural cocoa" extracted with the Broma process.
The difference between black and dark alkalized cocoa powders is the degree of alkalization (or Dutch processing); black cocoa powder is a heavily alkalized, or “hyper-processed” version of Dutch-processed cocoa, resulting in a more intense, less sweet flavor and a dramatically black color, while other dark alkalized cocoa powders are less heavily processed, yielding a deep reddish-brown color and a milder chocolate flavor.
