What it is

Organic cocoa liquor is the pure, unsweetened chocolate base made from roasted cocoa beans. The beans are ground into a paste, which is then heated and agitated to release the cocoa butter and form a smooth liquid. This liquid is the foundation for all chocolate products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cocoa liquor to provide the characteristic chocolate flavor and color in a wide variety of foods. It is a key ingredient in chocolate bars, baked goods, ice cream, and beverages. Its rich, complex taste is essential for authentic chocolate products.

Health notes

Cocoa liquor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains flavanols, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, and EFSA has also assessed cocoa flavanols. While some studies suggest potential cardiovascular benefits from flavanols in cocoa, evidence is mixed, and more research is needed. Typical consumption levels in food are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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