Role in food

Cocoa butter is primarily used as a fat source in chocolate and confectionery products. …

What it is

Cocoa butter is the fat extracted from cocoa beans. It is a natural component of chocolate, giving it a smooth texture and distinct melt. The fat is separated from the cocoa solids during the chocolate-making process.

Why it's used

Cocoa butter is primarily used as a fat source in chocolate and confectionery products. It provides a smooth mouthfeel and helps chocolate melt at body temperature. It is also used in some baked goods and lotions.

Health notes

Cocoa butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated and monounsaturated fats. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not set specific limits for cocoa butter consumption, as it is considered a food ingredient rather than a typical additive. While cocoa beans contain beneficial compounds, the health effects of cocoa butter in typical food intakes are not a subject of major regulatory concern.

Allergen info

Cocoa butter is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
