Dutch or Non-Dutch Processed I don't see any information on how this product is processed. Can someone please tell me if this is Duch or non-Dutch processed?

I was thinking the same thing! Why doesn't it indicate this on the package?

I looked at their website where it stated "The whole beans are peeled and cold-pressed to form apaste, the bean's oil is extracted, and our nutrient-dense cacao powder is formed" so it appeared to me that it was done by the hydraulic press method. I emailed the company (asking "Is this product made with the Broma process, hydraulic press, or the Dutch process" - for clarification and/or confirmation) and got a quick reply "We use a hydraulic press to extract the oils." So it Non-Dutch processed.BTW, I did suggest they clearly state that on their product, and website.

My pleasure to be of service ;-)BTW, since it's been 8 mos since my post, I thought I'd look at their website to see if they added the clarification that their cacao powder is not Dutch Processed, and they didn't change a thing. Oh well... I suppose they feel that their explanation of the extraction process they employ is sufficiently clear...http://www.navitasnaturals.com/products/cacao/cacao-powder.html

The packaging does not state what is in the product. (on the bottle or the box) That is the reason why I did not purchase it. The makers of Dutch Glow are nuts if they think I'm going to use their product without knowing what's in it. Sorry... but I hope that helps.

Yes, it is. It was rated by Cooks Illustrated as the number one DUTCH cocoa. I know - its not clearly labeled and I don't get that.

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:

Oh, you meant the cocoa. It contains a caffeine type drug, theobomine I believe is how it is spelled. Look it up online.I can't have caffeine, but I can have hot cocoa. It is almost impossible to fine cocoa that is not Dutch processed with alkali. The quality of cocoa you find is not the best now, no matter how much you pay. You can contact Frontier or any cocoa seller and find out what is in the cocoa and how it is processed. You want cocoa with no sugar, no sweetener. I add stevia to sweeten cocoa.

I could not tell if it was cold processed or not. Based on the lower quality of the oil, I do not think it was organic. Definitely not what I would consider high or therapeutic quality. This is my opinion only.

I no longer have the packaging for this dish and it does not state its origin anywhere on the dish. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe checking the Dansk website would be helpful. Good luck!

I don't even know what is unmodified potato starch. I bought it because I'm gluten free now and I know that potato is one of the "Dirty Dozen List" of produce that has to be organic. Could you tell me what is unmodified, please?

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

Good Evening Mimi,The Bovine ingredient comes from Cows, not sure if the glandular extract comes from local cows or from out of the country. I suggest contacting The Standard Process Company. I wish you the best on your path to wellness, always do good research and be proactive.Sincerely,iamxoxo

I contacted the company and they use chemicals to process this decaf. Buyer beware! They do make Swiss water processed decaf, so be sure you know what you're ordering.

You can probably find details about the product at www.natures-oil.com. The bag does not say where the product was processed.

I just made some sunscreen on Thursday. And yet I have no idea if it's non nano. Is there a contact number on your "spicy world" product? You should investigate why it's not "natures oil".

Yes it is dutch processed. I don't believe you need baking soda with it, maybe baking powder, but depends on what you are making.

As far as I can tell thisw salt is not processed (define unrefined?) this salt is gray in color and is fairly large hard granuals. It says on the label:"Celtic Sea Salt Brand is hand-harvasted sun-dried whole salt with no additives ... to befree of pesticides, herbicides,and harmful chemicals. Contains no anti-caking or bleaching agents. Certified Kosher." That is what it says, all I can vouch for it that it does not contain any anti-caking agent, it cakes a lot if moisture is present!!! But I have my doubts that if it is salt collected from sea water, that it is completely free of harmful chemicals as our sea is not free from harmful chemicals :-) As far as I can tell thisw salt is not processed (define unrefined?) this salt is gray in color and is fairly large hard granuals.

OK,Dragondancer, I just used the new order I received a couple days ago, and I, frankly, can't tell any difference from the original. I am also,frankly, not sure when the lower VOC regs went into effect. I have some product in an older can, and still, I don't see a difference. It holds well, and if my hair gets messed-up wearing a hat or a strong wind, my hair doesn't have that dirty feel like so many other hair sprays. I'd say you most likely will still be happy with this product, even though they have had to drop the VOC's to the newly approved levels. I know I am glad I can't tell any change, cause I hate that dirty feel. I hope that helped. Good Luck with it.

My understanding of the wet (Swiss) processing method is that it is for decafinating coffee....and if that is the case, it is not used on this organic coffee.
