Dutch process cocoa

Dutch processed cocoa, Dutched cocoa, or alkalized cocoa, is made from cocoa that has been treated with an alkalizing agent to reduce the natural acidity of cocoa, making it less bitter and darker compared to natural cocoa extracted with the Broma process. Alkalizing agents employed vary, but include potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide.
