Organic Fair Trade Certified Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is the fat extracted from cocoa beans. It gives chocolate its smooth texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and then ground into a paste, from which the cocoa butter is pressed out.

Cocoa butter is primarily used as a fat in chocolate and confectionery products to provide a smooth texture and pleasant mouthfeel. It's also used in baked goods, ice cream, and some lotions and cosmetics.

Cocoa butter is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a fat, so like all fats, it contributes calories and saturated fat to the diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set a specific limit for cocoa butter intake. It is a natural component of cocoa beans and is not associated with significant health controversies when consumed in typical amounts.
