Cocoa & Cocoa butter

What is alkalized cocoa powder?

Alkalized cocoa powder, also known as Dutch-processed cocoa powder, is made by treating cocoa beans with an alkalizing agent, such as potassium carbonate, to reduce the cocoa powder’s acidity. This process results in a darker, smoother cocoa powder with a milder, less bitter flavour than natural cocoa powder. Alkalized cocoa powder is commonly used in baked goods, chocolate drinks, and confectionery products.

What is deodorized cocoa butter?

Deodorized cocoa butter is a type of cocoa butter that has been processed to remove its characteristic chocolate aroma and flavour. This is done by subjecting the cocoa butter to high temperatures and vacuuming off the volatiles. Deodorized cocoa butter is commonly used in the food industry as a neutral, stable fat with a smooth texture and good melting properties, suitable for a wide range of applications such as chocolate, bakery, and confectionery products.

Cocoa powder vs cocoa butter

Cocoa powder and cocoa butter are both derived from cocoa beans, but they have different compositions and applications. Cocoa powder is made by removing the cocoa solids from the cocoa bean and grinding them into a fine powder. Cocoa butter, on the other hand, is the fat extracted from the cocoa bean and is commonly used as a high-quality ingredient in chocolate, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products due to its stable texture and unique melting properties.
