Category Management Studies

Cocoa butter is derived from whole cocoa beans. After that, the beans are fermented before being dried for use in chocolate production and to make cocoa nibs, and the beans are roasted and separated from their hulls. Cocoa butter makes up around 54–58 percent of cocoa nibs. The cocoa nibs are crushed to make cocoa mass, which turns to liquid at temperatures above the melting point of cocoa butter and is referred to as cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor. Fat is pressed out of the cocoa mass under high pressure (up to 550 kg/sq.cm), fat is squeezed out of the cocoa mass. After that, the butter is filtered to eliminate any remaining solid cocoa components. The cocoa butter is available in two forms: liquid in tankers and solidified in cardboard cartons. To separate the cocoa butter from the non-fat cocoa solids, the chocolate liquid is squeezed. Deodorization of cocoa butter is occasionally done to eliminate strong or unpleasant flavours.

Growing Popularity of the Ingredient, Further Bolstering the Procurement of Cocoa Butter
