🧠 What is it?

Dr. Oetker Dutch Cocoa 100 g is a premium Dutch-processed cocoa powder – a dark cocoa powder with a reduced fat content (approx. 10 % cocoa butter), processed by alkalisation for a smoother flavour and colour. It is the most commonly used type of cocoa in Europe thanks to its deep colour and full chocolate flavour.

🌿 Key features

✔️ Dutch-processed cocoa (alkalised) – a darker colour and milder flavour thanks to a special treatment.
✔️ 100 g pack – a handy size for both home and professional baking.
✔️ Versatile use – ideal for baking, making desserts and creams, sprinkling on cakes and pancakes, or adding to hot chocolate drinks.

🧾 Ingredients and allergens

• Ingredients: reduced-fat cocoa powder (cocoa butter content ~10 %), acidity regulator (potassium carbonates).
⚠️ Allergens: May contain traces of milk and soya beans depending on production conditions.

🍫 Uses in the kitchen

➡️ Baking: Use in doughs for cakes, tarts, biscuits or brownies for an intense chocolate flavour.
➡️ Desserts and creams: Stir into custards, mousses or chocolate creams.
➡️ Drinks: Great in hot chocolate or as a flavouring for coffee.
➡️ Topping: You can also sprinkle the cocoa over pancakes, ice cream or fruit.

💡 Tip: Dutch-processed cocoa is usually less acidic than natural cocoa, so cakes and desserts have a different flavour and often feature more subtle chocolate notes.
