For improving the taste and dispersibility of cocoa and or obtaining alkalized cocoa to which is imparted red coloration for obtaining a wide range of colors in shades of red an brown, cocoa meal or liquor and an alkalizing agent in aqueous phase are mixed and heated in an enclosed vessel under a pressure of from above 1 atmosphere to 3 atmospheres at a temperature below 110 grade centigrade, without evaporation of water while introducing an oxygen-containing gas into the vessel during at least a part of the mixing and heating for maintaining the excess presure. After the cocoa is alkalized, water is evaporated from it.
