An excellent baking cocoa with 10-12% cacao butter. Use in all your cocoa recipes, for a rich and mild chocolate flavor.
Organic Dutch Cocoa Powder is obtained from the grinding of sound, ripe, organically grown and previously cleaned, shelled, roasted cocoa beans. Dutch Process, or alkalizing, is the process of making the ground coca beans less acidic (raising the pH) prior to pressing out the coca butter. Potassium carbonate is used to neutralize some of the acid in cocoa; besides improving the flavor, this also darkens the cocoa to a reddish brown color and makes it easier to mix into most liquids.
