What is Dutch-processed cocoa?

Dutch-processed cocoa is cocoa treated with an alkalising agent to reduce acidity and darken the colour.

In chocolate bars, alkalised cocoa can make flavour smoother, darker and less acidic. It can also make origin character harder to read.

Chof tracks alkalised cocoa when the ingredient list or maker data makes that clear.
