Our Dutch processed cocoa powder is perfect for those who recipes call for baking powder over baking soda, and who want to use cocoa powder to create a chocolate taste and color, as opposed to a leavening agent.
Read LessOur Dutch cocoa powder comes in bulk or home use and is perfect for those who want to use cocoa powder for flavor and color. The difference between Dutch process cocoa powder and natural cocoa powder is that Dutch process cocoa is less acidic since Dutch process cocoa powder is natural cocoa powder that uses an alkalizing agent to lessen its acidity. Dutch-process cocoa powder starts with cocoa beans that have been 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. If one's recipe calls for baking soda then using natural cocoa powder is preferable since Dutch process cocoa powder does not mix well with baking soda since Dutch process cocoa powder is less acidic than natural cocoa powder. However if your recipe calls for baking powder, then Dutch process cocoa powder is preferable to natural cocoa powder.
Dutch process cocoa powder is darker and smoother tasting than natural cocoa power and is for those who want to add cocoa powder, not as a leavening agent, but for a chocolate taste and color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dutch processed cocoa powder?
Dutch processed cocoa powder is natural cocoa that’s been treated with an alkaline solution (usually potassium carbonate) to neutralize its acidity, resulting in a smooth, mellow flavor and dark color.
How does Dutch cocoa differ from natural cocoa powder?
Unlike natural cocoa, which is acidic, Dutch cocoa is neutral in pH. This gives it a richer color, milder taste, and smoother texture, making it ideal for recipes using baking powder rather than baking soda.
What are the best uses for Dutch processed cocoa powder?
It’s perfect for cakes, brownies, hot cocoa, chocolate sauces, ice cream, and beverages where a deep chocolate flavor and dark color are desired.
Does Dutch cocoa react with baking soda?
No. Because it’s alkalized, Dutch cocoa does not react with baking soda. It should only be used in recipes that call for baking powder or no leavening agent at all.
Is this product gluten free and suitable for bulk use?
Yes, it’s gluten free, kosher certified, and available in 50 lb bulk bags (pallets of 50) with a 24 month shelf life under proper storage conditions.
