Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dutch processed cocoa powder?

Dutch processed (or alkalised) cocoa powder has been treated with an alkaline solution to neutralise its natural acidity. This results in a milder, smoother flavour and a darker colour compared to natural cocoa powder. It works best in recipes that use baking powder as the leavening agent rather than baking soda.

What is the difference between low fat and high fat cocoa powder?

Cocoa powder fat content affects richness and mouthfeel. Low fat cocoa (10–12% fat) is ideal for drinks, sauces, and most baked goods where a cleaner cocoa hit is preferred. High fat cocoa (22–24%) delivers a richer, more intense chocolate flavour and is favoured by chocolatiers and artisan bakers who want a deeper flavour profile. Both work well for baking — the choice comes down to the flavour intensity you are after.
