Shall we go Dutch?
While shopping, you might have noticed that cocoa powder comes in two main varieties: natural and Dutch processed. Natural cocoa powder is the finely ground dry solids remaining after the fermentation of the dried and roasted cocoa beans. This type of cocoa powder has a slight acidity with a citrusy fruit finish. Dutch processed cocoa powder is washed with a potassium carbonate solution to neutralize any acidity. It has a noticeably darker colour and a smoother, earthier flavour.
