It has an acidic pH (5 to 5.5), a light brown color, and a fruity acidic taste. Alkalized cocoa has been treated with an alkaline solution (potassium or sodium carbonate) that neutralizes its acidity, darkens its color, and softens its taste. Noir Intense Lean is an alkalized cocoa pushed to the extreme to achieve a coal-black color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eHow many cakes can I make with a 1 kg bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWith standard use at 30-40 g of cocoa per 250 g flour recipe, expect about 25 to 33 layer cakes or genoise cakes. With intense use at 80 g per recipe, about 12 to 15 creations. A 1 kg bag typically allows 2 to 4 weeks of production in a pastry lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eWhy is my cake not as dark as commercial ones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSeveral possible reasons: dosage too low (increase to 60-80 g for 250 g of flour), dough pH too acidic (reduce baking soda, increase baking powder), cooking time too long (cocoa can dry out and brown), or presence of other ingredients that lighten the color (large amounts of eggs, light butter, sugar). Test with a gradual dosage to find your balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eCan this cocoa be replaced with regular cocoa?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo, never for recipes where color is essential. A classic non-alkalized cocoa will give a medium brown, never a deep black. However, you can replace a classic alkalized cocoa with this Noir Intense Lean in the same proportions; you will just get a more pronounced black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eDoes cocoa lose its color during baking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo, this is one of the great advantages of alkalized cocoa: it keeps its color stable during baking (up to 200 °C). Conversely, natural cocoa can darken during baking by caramelization but will never give the characteristic deep black of strong alkalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eWhat is the shelf life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIndicative best before date 18 to 24 months from manufacture, in its original sealed bag. Once opened, consume within 6 to 12 months while respecting storage conditions (12-20 °C, dry, away from light). Reseal tightly after each use to preserve aroma and prevent moisture absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eIs it suitable for vegan and organic diets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eVegan: yes, this product contains no animal ingredients and is suitable for vegan diets.

Avoid pairings with overly acidic fruits (kiwi, fresh raw pineapple) that oppose the natural bitter character of cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eAre E524 and E501i dangerous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo, these are acidity regulators completely safe for health. E524 is sodium hydroxide and E501i is potassium carbonate, used in very small amounts for the alkalization process. They are authorized in all European Union countries and most countries worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7220; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 16px;\"\u003eWhy choose Callebaut over another alkalized cocoa brand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCallebaut is the world’s number one professional B2B chocolate brand, with recognized expertise since 1911.
