Dutch-processed cocoa is a cocoa powder commonly found in grocery stores. It has been treated with a chemical solution to make it taste less bitter and darken its color. This processing makes it less acidic and richer in taste than regular cocoa powders. If you’re looking for a mild-tasting chocolate powder, Dutch-processed is your best bet. Regular cocoa powders are processed with heat and if unsweetened, can also be quite acidic, which is why many baking recipes call for baking soda, an alkaline ingredient. Raw cacao powder has the most bite out of the three — it can taste quite bitter. Some users like to add stevia, a natural sweetener, when using cacao.
