Product definition

What is cocoa butter?

Cocoa butter is the natural fat fraction obtained from cocoa beans. It is used in chocolate, confectionery, pastry and selected cocoa-based formulations. Its origin, processing and specification influence the result obtained. The chosen reference must therefore be reviewed against the intended product profile and actual manufacturing conditions.

Selection guidance

Select the reference from the actual application.

Define the recipe, expected sensory profile, process and storage conditions before selecting a reference. Format, documentation and compatibility with the other cocoa components should be checked, followed by a production-scale validation when appropriate.
