How is chocolate made?
Raw cocoa beans are dried and roasted, then they are cracked, and the "nibs" (the center of the cocoa bean) are ground. Using a hydraulic press, the cocoa butter is extracted, leaving a dense, rich, and bitter substance called chocolate liquor. Despite the name, this substance does not contain any alcohol. After drying, the chocolate liquor is ground into powder form. This is unsweetened chocolate.
What is alkalized cocoa?
Cocoa is available two ways: 1) "natural"; and 2) "alkalized" which is also known as "dutched" or "dutch process." Natural cocoa has nothing added to it and retains its rich, slightly bitter taste. Alkalized or dutched cocoa uses hydroxide to neutralize the acids in the cocoa, producing a less bitter and smoother taste. Both taste profiles are useful and recipes will often specify one type or the other, especially for baked items. For
AH!LASKA products, we use only natural cocoa.
For the People and the Planet!
In 1992 near the pristine wilderness of Homer, Alaska, the parents of a young boy were looking for a natural foods alternative to conventional cocoa mixes. None were available, so they created AH!LASKA®, the first kosher, organic, low fat cocoa mix in the market. To teach their son about the importance of preserving the breaktaking beauty of the mountains and glaciers surrounding them, they also created AH!Bear, the clever polar bear who knows about the environment and the importance of protecting it.
