What is natural (non-alkalized) cocoa powder?
Non-alkalized cocoa powder is natural cocoa powder that has not been treated with alkaline substances.
Alkalization is a process often used to give cocoa a darker color, milder flavor, and neutral pH, but it also reduces the amount of natural antioxidants and nutrients.

What is the difference between cocoa powder and cocoa mass?
Cocoa mass is naturally fatty because it retains cocoa butter, making its taste richer and its texture thicker. In cocoa powder, most of the cocoa butter has been removed, making it drier, lighter, and convenient for use in baked goods and desserts.
