What's the Difference Between Dutch-Process and Natural Cocoa Powder?

Dutch-Process Cocoa has a more intense and more mellow flavor because of an added alkalizing agent, while Natural Cocoa looks lighter in color and tastes slightly astringent, due to the natural acid from cocoa.

What are the benefits and consequences of some percentage of fat?

Began Cocoa contains 22-24% of fat, which affects the richness, intensity, and moisture of the textures.

  • 10-12% of fat : less concentrated flavor and less creamy 

  • 20-24% of fat : more concentrated and intense flavor

Is it possible to use the Dutch process instead of the Natural process in a dessert recipe?

Because the change in acid levels can affect the outcome of the dessert textures, we don't recommend substituting Dutch-Process Cocoa for Natural-Process Chocolate.
