The name on this box is the origin of the method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDutched cacao is treated with an alkali to neutralise the natural acidity of the bean. It gives a deeper colour, a rounder and less sharp flavour, and powder that disperses into liquid instead of clumping on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e21% cocoa butter\u003c\/strong\u003e — a full-fat cacao, not the stripped 10-12% sold as baking cocoa in most supermarkets.
