The present invention proposes a method of alkalization of cocoa that results in a cocoa product of sensory characteristics equivalent to cocoa alkalized by traditional methods. The difference is that the obtained product is dryer, uncompacted and with an equal or higher content of polyphenols and antioxidants.
