Gerkens® 10-12% Organic Alkalized is a cocoa powder obtained through hydraulic pressing of cocoa mass, where cocoa butter is separated from the cocoa cake, which is then pulverized into a fine, free-flowing cocoa powder. Cocoa mass is produced from cocoa beans, which are deshelled and broken into cocoa nibs. These nibs are alkalized (except for the natural cocoa powder), roasted, and ground into a fine cocoa mass. Gerkens® 10-12% Organic Alkalized Cocoa Powder has a fine powder appearance and a medium red-brown color.
