MODERN MOUNTAIN Cocoa Powder — Dutch-Processed Unsweetened 1 lb, 22–24% Fat

MODERN MOUNTAIN Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder is a 1 lb culinary-grade, unsweetened cocoa with 22–24% fat that delivers deep, smooth chocolate flavor for baking and hot drinks.

This Dutch-processed cocoa is crafted for bakers and home cooks who want rich chocolate impact without added sugar. Non-GMO and Fair Trade certified, the powder is alkalized to reduce bitterness and amplify mellow, rounded cocoa notes. With a higher fat content than typical powders, it enhances texture and flavor in everything from brownies to ganaches.

How will this cocoa change my baking results?

Because the powder contains 22–24% cocoa butter, it contributes to denser, fudgier batters and silkier frostings. The Dutch processing yields a mellow profile that complements sugar and dairy without clashing or tasting sharp. You’ll notice deeper color and more consistent results in chocolate-centric recipes.

• Higher fat for richer crumb and smoother mouthfeel
• Dutched alkalization for balanced, non-bitter flavor
• Consistent color and intensity in recipes

Can I use this cocoa in drinks and sauces as well as baked goods?

Yes—its smooth, mellow flavor makes it versatile across applications. It dissolves into warm milk for hot cocoa and blends into custards, puddings, and sauces without adding grit. Because it’s unsweetened, you control sweetness in both beverages and confections.

• Ideal for hot chocolate, mochas, and chocolate syrups
• Works in custards, ganaches, and chocolate sauces
• Unsweetened base lets you adjust sugar levels freely

How should I store and measure this cocoa for best results?

Keep the cocoa in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and direct heat to preserve aroma and flavor. Use a spoon or scale for accurate measurement—scooping can compress powder and change volume. For richer recipes, consider increasing the liquid or fat slightly to balance the higher cocoa butter content.

• Store sealed in a cool, dry pantry or airtight container
• Weigh for precision or spoon-and-level for baking consistency
• Adjust liquids/fats slightly in high-fat recipes if needed

It fits recipe creators who prefer unsweetened, ethically sourced ingredients and those seeking deeper color, smoother taste, and a richer texture in cakes, cookies, frostings, beverages, and dessert sauces.
