Dutch processed cocoa, which is also called "alkalized" cocoa powder, has been treated with an alkali during processing to produce a less harsh tasting, darkly colored cocoa. This process is purely to control flavor and color. Many people erroneously assume that alkalized cocoa powder is "better" than non-alkalized or "natural" cocoa powder. It is no better, just more mellow tasting and darker colored. For best results, use the type indicated in the recipe.

Rapunzel does not alkalize the cocoa beans, a process which is commonly done to give cocoa beans better processing properties and to achieve a slightly less bitter taste profile. The "dutching", as it is also called, is done by spraying the cocoa beans with sodium or potassium carbonate - roasting and milling it thereafter.

No. Dutch processing is sometimes used to make cocoa powder more soluble in drink mixes. It has very little application in chocolate and has no use in making premium chocolate.

Dutch Harbor, (the place), is in Alaska, located on Unalaska Island about half-way out on the Aleutian chain. For many, many years it has been one of the top seafood landing ports in the world, both in terms of dollars and tonnage. It's probably best known for its King crab, it's dismal weather and the many challenges in dealing with both.

Cocoa is finely pulverised de-fatted, roasted CACAO kernels, to which natural and artificial spices and flavours may be added. It is commercially manufactured by pumping hot CHOCOLATE liquor (semi-liquid ground cacao kernels) into hydraulic cage presses where, under extreme pressure, part of the fat, or cocoa butter, is removed. The fat content of cocoa varies from less than 10% to 22% or more for breakfast or high fat cocoa.

Cocoa flavanols are naturally occurring compounds found in cocoa beans. Preliminary studies suggest that cocoa flavanols may have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health by: Promoting healthy platelet function, which may contribute to the maintenance of healthy blood flow and circulation. Reducing the oxidation of LDL, a process believed to be an initial step in the development of heart disease.

The cocoa beans used in Silk Chocolate Soymilk are Dutch processed. This means that the cocoa beans are cleaned, cracked and roasted. At the time of roasting, the beans are treated with alkali for color and flavor. This process yields a dark, flavorful cocoa "liquor," which is made into a cocoa cake that is then milled into cocoa powder. There is no dairy involved in this process.

Not all chocolate or cocoa contain the same level of cocoa flavanols, because these compounds can be lost during processing of the cocoa. Mars, Incorporated developed a proprietary method of gently processing cocoa beans shown to retain much of the naturally occurring flavanols in their chocolate products.

Natural Cocoa Butter usually retains a strong chocolate or cocoa odor and is more yellow in color. Deodorized Cocoa Butter will still have a slight odor and be lighter in color. Both butters are very hard in texture.

Cocoa is shipped as a binhex (.hqx) archive containing a double-clickable installer file. Most web browsers will automatically unpack the .hqx archive leaving the installer file ready to use. If that's not the case, you may have to de-hqx it using Stuffit Expander or similar products. Double-click the Installer and follow the instructions. The installer will ask you to find the Plug-ins folder for your web browser to install the Cocoa Plugin.

Cocoa is available two ways: 1) "natural"; and 2) "alkalized" which is also known as "dutched" or "dutch process." Natural cocoa has nothing added to it and retains its rich, slightly bitter taste. Alkalized or dutched cocoa uses hydroxide to neutralize the acids in the cocoa, producing a less bitter and smoother taste. Both taste profiles are useful and recipes will often specify one type or the other, especially for baked items. For AH!LASKA products, we use only natural cocoa. Back to top

The 30% tax free allowance needs to be calculated through a Dutch payroll and requires payment of Dutch wage tax withholding to the Dutch tax authorities. Generally, this is done by a Dutch based company. However, certain foreign employers can also register themselves on a voluntary basis in the Netherlands for wage tax purposes and facilitate Dutch wage tax payments to the Dutch tax authorities. This generally does not mean that the foreign employer attracts Dutch corporate taxation issues.
