ORGANIC COCOA POWDER
Whether in its natural or alkalized form, our organic cocoa powder is processed to ensure food safety standards are met. Cocoa powder is won from the cacao fruit by removing the cacao beans. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and cracked into nibs. The cocoa butter is then extracted from the nibs by pressing them into a paste known as chocolate liquor. Finally, this is dried and ground into cocoa powder. Alkalized organic cocoa powder undergoes an additional process in which it is washed in a potassium carbonate solution to neutralize its acidity and increase its solubility.
