Product Description:   Dark Alkalized cocoa powder, dark brown pure cocoa, unsweetened, with balanced cocoa flavor and aroma, is also a dutch-processed cocoa. Dutch-Processed or Alkalized Unsweetened Cocoa Powder is treated with an alkali to neutralize its acids. It has a reddish-brown color, mild flavor, and is easy to dissolve in liquids.  Production: To convert cocoa liquor to cocoa powder, a defatting process is performed by pressing liquor in a mechanical or hydraulic press at 400–500 bar and a temperature of 90–100 °C. In this way part of the fat (cocoa butter) is removed, and cocoa cake (compressed cocoa powder) is produced. Cocoa powder is obtained by grinding cocoa cake. Generally the fat content of cocoa powder is 10-12%，20–24%. Alkalized cocoa powder is processed with alkalization. The alkalization process is nowadays mainly applied to modify the flavor and color of cocoa powders.
