MEETING THE DEMAND FOR SIMPLE AND RECOGNISABLE INGREDIENTS

Consumer interest in easy to read ingredient lists and straight-forward labelling continues to drive the movement towards more natural products. Now, deZaan’s innovation experts have developed TrueDark (N11D), the first ever natural, dark cocoa powder.

A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH

Alkalisation, also known as ‘Dutching’, enhances both the flavour and colour intensity of cocoa. However, as the name implies it requires an alkalising agent. Developed with special processing technology, TrueDark is unique because it is a natural (i.e non-alkalised) cocoa powder that can fully replace the alkalised cocoa powders typically used in ice cream, bakery, biscuit and indulgent dessert applications.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES

TrueDark (N11D) is the first dark natural (i.e. non-alkalised) cocoa powder that delivers the same colour and flavour intensity as medium alkalised powder.
