Product Information

The Dutch process was developed in the early 19th century by Dutch chocolate maker Coenraad Johannes van Houten, whose father Casparus was responsible for the development of the method of removing fat from cocoa beans by hydraulic press around 1828, forming the basis for cocoa powder. These developments greatly expanded the use of cocoa, and reduced the oiliness that was previously associated with cocoa. [1] Colour [ edit ]

Coenraad's son Casparus Johannes (1844–1901), employed since 1865, had a gift for marketing and contributed greatly to the growth of the company. Advertisements for Van Houten could be found on trams throughout Europe and the United States. As early as 1899, Van Houten produced a commercial film that depicted a sleepy clerk who recovers miraculously after eating some chocolate. [3] The factory was a boost for the town of Weesp, whose population doubled in the second half of the 19th century. Casparus Jr. had himself built a 99-room Jugendstil villa in Weesp, by the renowned architect Abraham Salm (1857–1915). [4] Work was started in 1897 but not completed until 1901, the year he died.

When using vegetable oil, your cake will have a moist texture as vegetable oil remains liquid even at room temperature, unlike butter and cocoa butter that solidify in colder temperatures. The quantity of alkalizing agent is not specified on the ingredients on cocoa powder. However, this may be figured out by comparing the brown shades between different products. Higher quantities of alkalizing agents will produce cocoa that is darker than cocoa with lower quantities.

Before we get to the recipe a brief note on peanut butter. When baking with peanut butter you need to be careful about what style you use. Generally you want to be using a commercial peanut butter and this is for the simple reason that it is less likely to split creating odd textures in the finished recipes. By all means you can use a natural peanut butter but be aware the result might not look like you envisioned or like the images of the recipe. Your sense of touch will tell you how smooth or how even a chocolate bar is. When you touch the chocolate, it should not melt immediately in your hands, this is an indication of how well it has been tempered and stored. Van Houten's innovative Dutch processed cocoa powder offers a delightful, full-bodied, and chocolatey taste that enhances the authenticity of your baking creations, with subtle hints of cocoa. Immerse yourself in the light and nutritious nature of cocoa while experiencing a deeply intense chocolate experience. Seal the container tightly: Make sure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture or air from entering, which can cause the cocoa powder to clump or lose its freshness. Courtwright, David T.
