What it is
Chocolate liquor processed with alkali, also known as Dutch-process cocoa, is made from cocoa beans that have been washed with an alkaline solution. This process reduces the acidity of the cocoa, mellows its flavor, and darkens its color, making it smoother and less bitter.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it to create a milder, richer chocolate flavor and a darker color in baked goods and confectionery. It is commonly found in cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, and chocolate coatings.
Health notes
Chocolate liquor processed with alkali is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of flavor and color. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. Evidence does not link typical consumption of cocoa products to adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Chocolate liquor is derived from cocoa beans, which are not among the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
