Dutch or Non-Dutch Processed: Can someone please tell me if this is Duch or non-Dutch processed?

Using a "hydraulic press to extract the oils" doesn't really completely answer the question for me. From my reading, alkalizing (aka "dutch process") is applied to reduce acidity (and in turn it reduces the polyphenols). I sent an email to company this morning, asking directly if the product is alkalized or non-alkalized. Will post their response back. UPDATE from the company: Thanks for contacting us and for your question about our Cacao. Our Cacao Powder is not processed at all. It is not alkalized and not treated with any chemicals. Our cacao is organic, non-GMO, raw, vegan, gluten free, soy free, corn free and completely additive free... it is 100% raw cacao! Navitas Naturals organic Cacao is picked and then immediately starts a natural (nothing is added to the beans during the entire process) fermentation in the pod for about 48 hours (never exposed to temperatures over 115 degrees). Once extracted from the pod-like fruit, purified water is used to cleanse the beans. The whole beans are then also peeled and cold-pressed to form a paste, the bean's oil is extracted (cacao butter), and our nutrient-dense cacao powder is formed... and that is all of the processing involved with our Cacao superfoods! I have included a link to a short documentary (staring our CEO!) on Navitas Naturals Cacao. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8zsmfnkUZU I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions and take care.

The numbers don't mean anything to me. I bet the more expensive one has the gold band around the dutch oven. I have the cheaper one and it cooks just fine, but it does get the discoloration inside from heat. I just use a light scrubbing with a brillo pad--good as new again.

The product information states they use hexane-free processing. I have been very pleased with this product.

This one has a Dutch pump and the rest made & assembled in China. I find myself searching the comments for China or USA, since people usually comment on quality in terms of the product's origin. If that does not bring it up, use Google with a specific product name. Also, there are madeintheusa.com type websites out there. Overstock allows searches for USA made goods (even some Mainstreet made items). Hope Amazon is paying attention...

Nothing on package or website notes the country of origin. It only says product is processed in the mill in Oregon. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer

This product is NOT Dutch processed and no alkalizing agents were added in the processing. Just 100% organic, raw, cacao powder made from premium Criollo cacao beans. Enjoy!

This is the dutch processed cocoa. It is refined differently and has a slightly different texture & taste. It's also more expensive. Some recipes call specifically for it. You could probably use them interchangeably, but why would you want to? I use it specifically for the recipes that call for it. I find that it's a darker chocolate.

Yes, I'm sorry. I was mistaken...it's Lithuanian. The name on ours is dom itp, but that could be the importer. (You can see the same name in the image.)

There is no difference, I don't tbelieve the "de" is correct. The brand is Givenchy.

The printing on the container states it is from Hamburg. There was a "stick on label" on the back placed by the distributor (in Chicago I think?) that also stated "made in Germany.The consistency of this cream seems similar to AOK Tagescreme that I have used for 40 years (and is no longer available.) It also was not greasey as is the Nivea cream. At 70, my face is basically wrinkle free and I attribute it to the daily use of the AOK tagescreme. I wished I could find it again.Unlike the "Edyth" (in her review) my "made in Germany" Nivea is fragrance free.However, if you purchase Nivea from Target,other stores, and most websites, you will be purchasing a product "made in Mexico."

I think that it is a different brand. I'm very satisfied with this one, and have reordered as well as given a couple to family. My advice is to read reviews for both types.

I do not know the Spanish system for dating food production, but looking on the bottom of the cans I recently received from Amazon mine are marked:L-101513233. My best guess is that the first 6 numbers represent the date the oil was packaged--perhaps the last 3 numbers indicate the producer or place of processing, etc. I would also say that I have been using this particular brand for a while now and it always tastes fresh and delicious--never rancid as "old" oil would taste. Like many things, for me it comes down to taste, value, and enjoyment and I have never had any reason to even think that the product might be old or past the "use by date".

My husband is a chemist, he can't tell from the label as to how it is processed, probably distilled. It is plant based.

This is what it says on the can "product of Mexico, distributed by Nestle USA, Glendale CA". I never heard of this product being manufactured in the Netherlands. I've always known it to be from Mexico which is why you won't find this product in the regular powdered milk section of the super market. You will only find in where the Hispanic foods are located. Also, this is only my point of view: don't compare powdered milk with real milk because there is no comparison. Compare powdered milk with other powdered milk varieties. With that said, I like Nido because it has "body" and a nice taste which is far better than the other powdered milk products I have tried online. I purchased the Nido that says "Fortificada" (fortified). Don't purchase the one for children because it's too sweet. Hope this helps!

No, "natural" is basically the opposite of "Dutched." Natural cocoa has not been processed with alkali as Dutch process cocoa has. Both are good for different things, but if you want Dutch process cocoa, buy the "Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa."
