Cocoa Powder Alkalized 10/12 1kg

Product Details

A premium, professionally formulated cocoa powder that has undergone the "Dutching" process (alkalization). This treatment neutralizes cocoa's natural acidity, resulting in a powder with a darker color, a milder, less astringent flavor, and enhanced solubility. The "10/12" refers to its fat content, indicating it contains between 10-12% cocoa butter, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications where a rich color and smooth chocolate flavor are desired.

Key Features:

Type: Alkalized (Dutched) Cocoa Powder.
Fat Content: 10-12% Cocoa Butter.
Color: Deep, dark reddish-brown.
Flavor: Mellow, smooth, and richly chocolatey with low acidity.
Solubility: Dissolves more easily in liquids than natural cocoa.
Form: 1kg sealed bag.

Applications

Baking: Ideal for cakes, brownies, and cookies where a deep chocolate color and mild flavor are preferred. It does not react with baking soda, so use it with baking powder.
Beverages: Perfect for hot chocolate, chocolate milk, and smoothies due to its easy dissolution and smooth flavor.
Icings & Frostings: Provides a rich color and flavor for buttercreams, ganaches, and glazes without adding bitterness.
Dessert Mixes: Used in mousses, puddings, and no-bake cheesecakes for a consistent, smooth chocolate taste.
Dusting & Garnishing: Excellent for dusting over truffles, mochas, tiramisu, and dessert plates for a professional finish.
Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts: Incorporates smoothly into ice cream bases for a classic chocolate flavor.

Chef's Tip: Because it is alkalized, this cocoa powder is not a direct 1:1 substitute for natural cocoa powder in recipes that use baking soda as a leavening agent, as the chemical reaction will be affected. For recipes specifying "cocoa powder," Dutched is often the intended type. Store in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container to protect its flavor and aroma.
