The 7.3-7.8pH range is what is referred to as highly dutched cocoa powder or alkalized cocoa powder. This is what you would use for baking and drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.3-7.8pH is more neutral than natural coca powder (5-6.2pH) and reacts less when baked. It is washed in alkaline solution of potassium carbonate. This wash neutralizes their acidity. So, dutch-process cocoa powder is neutral. Because it is neutral, it does not react with baking soda. It's often paired with baking powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkalizing cocoa makes it darker in color, mellow in flavor, and dissolves easily into liquids. Oreo cookies are made from dutched cocoa!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis organic cocoa powder is made by Bensdorp (Barry Callebault) which makes most of our premium chocolates. Their St-Hyacinthe, QC factory is state-of-the-art and being less than 30km from their factory guarantees you the freshest products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10-12% refers to the fat content in the powder. Sometimes spelled simply 10\/12 cocoa powder is referred to as \"Low Fat\" which is the most popular percentage. The other less common cocoa powders are 20\/22 and 22\/24 referred to as \"High Fat\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is cocoa powder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen cocoa pods are harvested from the trees, cocoa beans are removed from the pods, fermented, and dried. Then dried beans are roasted to develop the flavor and aroma of the cocoa. Roasted beans (cocoa nibs) are milled to create cocoa liquor, which is either conched to make chocolate products or pressed. Cocoa powder is the dry cocoa solids left after by pressing cocoa liquor to remove much of the cocoa butter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn simple terms it is the byproduct of cocoa paste which is the base for chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OnlineOrganics","offers":[{"title":"50 lb Wholesale Bag (20% OFF)","offer_id":37536886194337,"sku":"FAR-C-100516-722-B22","price":617.85,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0498\/3190\/3393\/products\/organic-cocoa-powder-10-12-7ph-pile.jpg?v=1748123467","url":"https:\/\/onlineorganics.ca\/products\/organic-cocoa-powder-10-12-7ph","provider":"OnlineOrganics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
