Dutch cocoa
Treated cacao powder
Dutch cocoa is cocoa powder that has been treated with an alkalizing agent to neutralize its natural acidity.
The process, developed in the Netherlands, produces a darker color and milder, less bitter flavor than natural cocoa.
Dutch cocoa dissolves more easily in liquids and is common in European chocolate drinks and baked goods: The recipe calls for Dutch cocoa, not natural.
