Gerkens® 10-12% Amber is a cocoa powder obtained by hydraulic pressing of cocoa mass, separating cocoa butter from the cocoa cake, and subsequently pulverizing it into a fine, free-flowing cocoa powder. Cocoa mass is produced from cocoa beans, which are deshelled and broken into cocoa nibs (the kernels). These kernels are alkalized (except for natural cocoa powder), roasted, and ground into a fine cocoa mass. The resulting cocoa powder is a fine, free-flowing powder with a light brown color.
