Description
What is Organic Natural Cocoa Powder 10-12%?
This is pure organic cocoa powder with a natural 10–12% cocoa butter content, made from premium organic cocoa beans and gently processed to keep its flavour and natural nutrients. ‘Natural’ means it is non-alkalised (not Dutch-processed), giving a brighter, more intense cocoa flavour with no added sugar or artificial ingredients.
Natural vs alkalised cocoa
Natural cocoa is more acidic than Dutch-processed (alkalised) cocoa, with a sharper, fruitier chocolate taste. Because it's acidic, it reacts with bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), so it's the traditional choice for recipes that use baking soda as the raising agent.
How to use Cocoa Powder
Use it just like any cocoa powder: in cakes, brownies, cookies and frosting, whisked into hot chocolate, or blended into smoothies and overnight oats. It dissolves into both hot and cold liquids and brings a rich, full chocolate flavour with no added sugar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 10-12% mean?
It refers to the cocoa butter (fat) content of the powder — a standard level that gives a smooth texture and full chocolate flavour.
What's the difference between natural and Dutch (alkalised) cocoa?
Natural cocoa is non-alkalised, so it's more acidic with a brighter, more intense flavour. Dutch-processed cocoa is treated to be milder and darker. They can behave differently in baking.
Which raising agent should I use with it?
Because natural cocoa is acidic, it pairs traditionally with bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) in recipes. Always follow your specific recipe.
Does it contain sugar?
No. It's 100% cocoa with no added sugar or artificial ingredients — the only sweetness comes from whatever you add.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, it's organic cocoa, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no gluten ingredients. It is packed in an environment that also handles gluten, nuts and other allergens, so it is not suitable for those with severe allergies.
