Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder, an unsweetened chocolate product, adds deep chocolate flavor to desserts and beverages. Cocoa powder occurs when the fat, called cocoa butter, gets removed from the cacao beans during processing. The leftover dried solids get ground into the product sold as cocoa powder.

Pure ground cocoa powder has a pH level between 5.3 and 5.8, putting it on the acidic end of the scale. The natural cocoa powder produced with the Broma process retains the natural pH level.

It tends to be more intensely flavored, and a lighter, almost reddish-brown color.

The Dutch process (sometimes called “Dutching”) bathes the cocoa beans in an alkaline solution, producing a darker brown cocoa powder with a chemically neutral pH of between 6.8 and 8.1, resulting in a more mellow flavor. Dutching also reduces the antioxidant properties of cocoa.

We can supply pure or alkalized cocoa powder from our affiliated factories around the world.
