What it is

Cocoa butter is the fat extracted from the cacao bean. It is a natural product of chocolate making, separating the fat from the cocoa solids. It has a mild chocolate flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Cocoa butter is used to give chocolate its smooth texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality. It also helps to stabilize chocolate, preventing it from melting too easily. It is found in many chocolate confections, baked goods, and desserts.

Health notes

Cocoa butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of saturated and monounsaturated fats. While it is a source of fat, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse health effects. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cocoa butter.

Allergen info

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