Cacao Powder 20-22 Alkalized Theobroma Organic

This organic, rich powder comes from the bean of Theobroma cocoa. Thanks to the higher fat content and the alkalization process, this product has a deep color, mild flavor and excellent workability, ideal for those looking for an intense yet smooth result.

What is alkalized cocoa powder?

Alkalized cocoa powder, also called “Dutch-processed” cocoa, is treated with an alkaline solution to reduce acidity. During this process the color turns dark brown and the flavor becomes rounder and less bitter. The cocoa beans are first fermented, dried, roasted and pressed, after which the remaining powder is alkalized.

The difference with regular cocoa (non-alkalized) lies, besides the treatment, mainly in taste and application. Natural cocoa has a lighter color, a fresher and more acidic taste and reacts differently in recipes, for example with leavening agents such as baking soda.

Difference between 20-22% and 10-12% cocoa powder

The percentage for alkalized powder refers to the cocoa butter content. This directly affects the flavor and texture:

• 20-22%: fuller, creamier mouthfeel and more intense flavor. Ideal for luxury applications such as desserts, chocolate drinks and patisserie.
• 10-12%: drier and lighter in texture, with a slightly less rich flavor. Suitable for general applications such as baking and mixing.

Due to the higher fat content, this variant offers more depth and a softer experience.

Usage and applications

This cocoa powder is versatile. Use it in hot chocolate, desserts, cakes, brownies or as a flavoring in smoothies. Its fine texture mixes easily with liquids. Dosage can be adjusted to taste, depending on the desired intensity.
