What it is

Cacao butter is the fat extracted from the cacao bean, the source of chocolate. It is a pale yellow, solid fat at room temperature that melts easily. It is made by pressing roasted cacao beans to separate the fat from the solids.

Why it's used

Cacao butter is primarily used as a fat in chocolate production, giving chocolate its smooth texture and melt. It is also used in baked goods, desserts, and some cosmetics for its moisturizing properties.

Health notes

Cacao 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 other international bodies have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations of cacao butter's health effects at typical dietary intakes are not widely publicized. Like other fats, it contributes calories to the diet.

Allergen info

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