Is the cocoa powder in these discs/chips natural or alkalized (a.k.a. Dutch processed)? Any hydrogenated oils or fats? Thanks.

It is not dutched and there are no hydrogenated oils. The 70 % cocoa is so bitter I have not used it alone.

This "Special Dark" includes cocoa processed with alkali ("Dutch processed"), which makes the product less bitter -- but reduces the healthy flavanols; see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18710243 .

The ingredient list states: Cocoa, Cocoa processed with Alkali.... It doesn't specifically list dairy...

There is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in the ingredients! Hope this answers your question!

Yes, it is not raw cocoa powder which can be somewhat acidic with off tasting acids like acetic acid. There are two main methods to balance the raw cocoa that makes it taste better to most people. Dutch processed cocoa uses an alkali to neutralize the acids. Rodelle Baking Cocoa is Dutch processed with alkali (baking soda is an alkali). Milk chocolates are made by adding processed milk products that are alkaline. Most chocolate is neutralized in some way. Rodelle Baking Cocoa is high quality with great flavor. I hope this helps...

Hello,It doesn't say on the package if it was heated or not but it says it has an acidity regulator of potassium carbonate. That and cocoa are the two ingredients . Not sure if this answers your question. It also is organic and fair trade. It's very good.

My understanding is that it does NOT contain caffeine. This was an important to me. I read on Swanson's website that the "dutch processing" results in a caffeine content of less than 0.1% in the final product. I called Frontier to verify & they confirmed that it does *not* contain caffeine. This is a great tasting, satisfying, low calorie cocoa & I highly recommend it!

Haven't had them in awhile. No longer sell them at Costco. Very expensive at Amazon. They are chunks of coconut (not shredded) covered with dark chocolate.

Hi, thank you for asking! Joyfuel Cacao Powder is produced by using natural cold-pressing methods without solvents or chemicals to ensure all nutrients remain intact. Unlike cocoa, it is not roasted at high temperatures, rather, it is sun-dried. It is also relatively unprocessed and contains no sugar or cocoa butter. Roasting reduces the enzyme content of cocoa beans, thus lowering nutritional value. Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans, preserving enzymes and removing fat. What to expect? If you are trying raw cacao for the first time you'll need to make some adjustments, and here is why. Cocoa is sweeter, lighter, and more refined because it is highly processed. When trying cacao, you will notice it has a darker, more bitter taste, which is natural to chocolate. If you are used to the taste of cocoa (which has added sweetener already), experiment with the right amount of your favorite sweetener to suit your tastes.

It's not processed using the Dutch method. They state this in their FAQs: http://www.chocolatebar.com/docs/esc_faq.pdf I like them too. Here's my review with recommendations for other bars you may like:
