What it is

Chocolate liquor is the paste made from roasted cacao beans that have been ground. It contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter, the natural fat from the cacao bean. It is the fundamental ingredient in all chocolate products.

Why it's used

Chocolate liquor provides the characteristic flavor and color of chocolate. It is used as the base for making all types of chocolate, including baking chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. It is also used in confectionery, baked goods, and desserts.

Health notes

Chocolate liquor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of flavonoids, which are antioxidants. Some studies suggest potential cardiovascular benefits from flavonoid-rich cocoa products, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) for cocoa liquor itself.

Allergen info

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