Cocoa Powder Dutch (Alkalized) Organic
Dutch cocoa powder, also known as Dutch-processed cocoa, is made when chocolate liquor is pressed to remove three quarters of its cocoa butter. The remaining cocoa solids are processed to make fine unsweetened cocoa powder.
Dutch–processed cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that have been washed with a potassium solution, to neutralize their acidity, and then pulverized into a fine powder. The process of making cocoa powder Dutch makes it darker, and can help mellow the flavor of the beans. Because Dutch cocoa has been neutralized, it will not react with baking soda in recipes. So, be sure that the recipe is interchangeable for Dutch Cocoa Powder.
