它是什么？

In the mid-nineteenth century, a Dutch chocolate manufacturer came up with a process by which he could better control and standardize the color and flavor of cocoa. The process, which involves washing the cocoa (before or after grinding) in an alkaline solution, became known as Dutch-processing.

The resulting cocoa is consistently darker in color, mellower in flavor, and less acidic than the natural (non-alkalized) powder. In cakes and brownies, the Dutch-processed cocoas tend to produce moister and deeper colored baked goods—Advantages that makes it a favorite of many pastry chefs.

Kitchen math:

2-1/4 oz. = 3/4 cup

没有吗？

If you have only natural cocoa powder, know that it can often be used interchangeably in most recipes calling for calling for 3/4 cup or more of Dutch, though the flavor will differ. Dutch-process cocoa should not be subbed for natural in recipes that call for baking soda, however. Because baking soda is also alkaline, the combination can cause a soapy aft ertaste and may affect texture.

How to choose:

最近，我们在超市中的纯荷兰语中可可粉遇到了艰难的时光。（Hershey用来出售纯净的荷兰语制品可可，但切换到了他们称为“特殊黑暗”的自然和荷兰人的混合。）在稀缺之上，包装不容易告诉可可是否是荷兰语过程。这是要寻找的东西。

If the cocoa was made in Europe, it’s likely Dutch process even if it doesn’t say so on the label. Valrhona, Callebaut, and the Dutch brands Droste and Bensdorp are all Dutch process (also known as European style).

If a domestic cocoa says it’s been processed with alkali, either on the front label or in the ingredient list, it’s Dutch process. Dutch-process cocoas vary slightly in color and intensity of fl avor by brand, so you may want to try different ones to see which you like best.

How to store:

Stored in a cool, dry place, cocoa powder will keep almost indefinitely.
