Why 22/24 matters. The number is the cocoa butter content. Standard baking cocoas carry roughly 10 to 12% fat; at 22 to 24%, this cocoa holds about twice the cocoa butter, so it disperses cleanly in milk or batter, gives a glossier finish to glazes and ganache, and carries a fuller mouthfeel in hot chocolate and ice cream. Dutch processing (alkalizing) lowers acidity and deepens the color, so pair it with baking powder rather than baking soda in cakes.
Uses. Chocolate cake and brownie bases, chocolate sponge and cocoa frosting, premium hot chocolate and drinking chocolate mixes, chocolate ice cream and gelato, and dusting for truffles and tiramisu. Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors.
