Define "lightly dutched"; do I treat this as natural or dutched for baking?

I don't make any distinction between the two, I use Pernigotti in sny recipe that calls for cocoa. It's the only cocoa I want to use.

Hi, I'm sorry I just saw this...I would say "no" as I have found a lot of "spreads" and "butters" are mostly oil and this stuff is the full coconut; pulp, cold processed so that you get flavorful fiber with it...HOWEVER...I have just found Artisana Oganics , Raw Coconut Butter, Whole Coconut Purée that is the same full pulp& oil content as this product. So I scout for whole, organic, cold processed. Am using it to enrich my coconut kifer

Hi again, it's cocoa so it has been heated. I read if it's raw it would be cacao.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

I would describe the flavor as mildly nut flavored. In cookies it was not overwhelming nutty, the recipe contained raisin, craisins, choc chips, and a nut of some sort. They were wonderful, they held together beautifully, yet were light and not nutty. Used as an ingredient to coat food before cooking (fish, chicken. vegetables) no nutty flavor if you are using spices, herbs, seasonings. Really the flour simply takes on the flavor of the seasonings. Get for both baking coated items and for pan frying. I have already ordered my second case of this product and plan to use it as a staple in my kitchen. I would describe the flavor as mildly nut flavored.

No it's not clear I'm afraid.It's a bit thick like syrup but smells heavenly as vanilla should :). Good luck with your baking.

I'm not an expert and I'm not sure if I would know the difference between "raw" and "not raw". The Tisano cocao butter is 100% organic with no other ingrediants. At the top of the bag it says, "Tisano's natural, non-deoderized cocoa butter is cold pressed at lowest possible temperature and is perfect for making homemade chocolates, sauces and artisanal skin care". It comes in irregular shaped chunks that look like they were broken up from a large chunk. Most chunk sizes are about 2"x1" and smaller.

I just found out what a Dutch Oven is. My neighbor told me about it. I ordered one to cook a recipe in. Comon sense would tell you to only use utensils that do not scratch the surface. This goes for any pans that have a coating or something. I really just started cooking stuff.

If your dough is floured enough you don't need to, but if you want to be safe you can spray a little pam on it and flour it lightly.

The pouch says that it is non-alkalized. From the online research I did, this is NOT dutched cocoa.

In my opinion, if you use it lightly it will look 'natural'. Just light application, get a small yet fluffy brush. You can also use it for an eyeshadow. Now if you are not wanting to spend a lot of money..I'd say don't chance it. Again, this is my opinion.

I would say a bit more than a tablespoon (= 0.5-0.75 oz). You don't want to overfill it so the baked goods don't spread over, thus, 0.5 oz should be enough.

It appears like a solid shortening only much lighter. It melts in your hand as it has a very low melting point. I have not used it for cooking, just as a treatment for my dogs sensitive skin troubles. And it works wonderfully for that ..

Yes. This buckwheat isn't processed like the type you get that is white. If you want it for baking, either use a very small amount of this version and mix it with another softer flour, or find an organic buckwheat that is whiter in texture. That way it won't have the hard/sandy consistency.

Hi I find it interesting that Amazon is sending this question to a customer instead of finding out from the source--the manufacturer! They claim in the description that it is 'raw' so we, as consumers, assume that might mean unheated. I would ask the company itself. I can tell you as someone who purchases it that I like it because it is natural! I do not want any chemicals on my skin, so this works!

Btw, I do Not see where this is Organic Butter! It does say Natural, but that does Not mean Organic by a long shot..
