To produce natural cocoa powder, Cocoa beans are finely ground roasted, dehulled, and pressed without employing an alkali treatment. This unprocessed method keeps the cocoa's original nutritional profile, rich in chocolate scent, acidic and bitter notes. Natural cocoa has a bright, slightly bitter flavor that is ideal for use in bakeries and confectionary industries as it avoids alkalization while retaining its natural acidity and high polyphenol content.
