Cocoa
Roasted cacao ground to a powder, the dry solids of the bean after most of the cocoa butter has been pressed out.
Origin
Milled from tropical cacao beans.
Flavour
Bitter and chocolatey.
How it is made
Cacao liquor is pressed; the remaining cake is milled. Dutch-process washes that cake with alkali. You cannot melt cocoa into a coating — the fat is gone.
How to use it
Use it as cocoa powder in drinks and baking, and add the sweetness separately.
Storage
Airtight, cool, and dry.
