Cocoa Powder

Description

Origin: Peru

10-12% Cocoa Butter, pH=7.3 (+/-0.3)

Organic Alkalized Cocoa Powder is obtained from the grinding of sound, ripe, organically grown and previously-cleaned, shelled, roasted cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao).
Dutch Process, or alkalizing, is the process of making the ground cocoa beans less acidic (raising the pH) prior to pressing out the cocoa butter. Our Dutch Process uses potassium carbonate, 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.

With a great flavor and consistency, this Organic Cocoa Powder is ideal for beverages and baking.
