MORE DETAILS
To make this unsweetened organic cocoa powder, organic cocoa beans are fermented, dried and roasted before being cracked into nibs. The nibs are then ground into a paste known as chocolate liquor. Despite the name, chocolate liquor contains no alcohol – it’s simply the term used for this ground cocoa paste. The liquor is pressed to separate the cocoa butter from the cocoa solids, which are then ground to produce cocoa powder.
During Dutch processing, the cocoa nibs or liquor are treated with an alkaline solution, usually potassium carbonate, to reduce the natural acidity of the cocoa. This results in a cocoa powder that is darker in colour, milder and less acidic in flavour and more soluble than natural cocoa powder.
Dutch processing was originally developed by Dutch chocolate maker Conrad van Houten in the early 19th century, hence the name. It is also known as Dutching or alkalisation.
