Alkalized Black Cocoa Powder

Alkalized Black Cocoa Powder

Heavy alkalized cocoa undergoes strong alkali treatment for maximum color development and flavor mellowing, eliminating all acidity while boosting chocolate intensity. In the food industry, it excels in applications requiring intense black color and robust taste without sourness or leavening interference.

Food Industry Applications

• Beverages: Creates rich, opaque hot chocolate drinks and espresso beverages with heavy body and lingering chocolate aftertaste that withstands milk dilution.

• Baked goods: Delivers maximum chocolate impact in flourless cakes, tortes, and dense brownies where bold color penetrates crumb structure completely.

• Confectionery: Colors licorice, jellies, and panned centers black while contributing smooth chocolate notes without graining or bitterness.

• Ice cream: Produces deep black chocolate ice cream with uniform pigmentation that resists lightening during mixing or freezer storage.
