ORGANIC COCOA POWDER, alkalized, 10/12%

Organic Alkalized Cocoa powder, often called "Dutched" or "European style" cocoa, is prized for its rich colour and mellow flavour. This premium cocoa is made from sustainably sourced, carefully selected raw materials to ensure superior consistency. The alkalization process involves washing the cocoa with a potassium carbonate solution, which neutralizes the cocoa's naturally high acidity levels. This treatment results in a darker powder with a 10-12% cocoa butter fat content.

The resulting flavour profile of this alkalized cocoa powder is smooth, mellow, and often associated with subtle earthy or woodsy notes. Because this cocoa is non-acidic, it does not react with leavening agents like baking soda. For this reason, recipes using alkalized cocoa typically rely on baking powder for their rise, which makes it ideal for specific baking applications. This powder is also perfect for any recipe calling for cocoa, especially for preparing a rich, flavorful cup of hot chocolate. This dark, mellow cocoa powder is a versatile ingredient for bakers and beverage enthusiasts alike.
