Cocoa Products
Cocoa Mass is also known as Cocoa Liquor or
unsweetened chocolate.
The Natural Mass is widely used in the confectionery industry.
This cocoa mass is made with 100% West Africa cocoa beans. The cocoa mass
has an excellent aroma and taste and it is also perfect for making chocolates
and any other products that requires a strong and exquisite taste of chocolate.
Natural Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is the natural fat of the cocoa bean. The butter obtained through
the processing of cocoa mass is pure, which guarantees all its extraordinary
crystallization properties.
Natural Cocoa Cake
After cocoa liquor (mass) has been pressed and the majority of the butter
extracted, the remaining by product is known as cocoa cake. The press residue
(cake) normally has a fat content of between 10% & 12% although higher or
lower fat contents can be achieved if required.
Natural Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder is the final product obtained by grinding the cocoa cake, which is
the cocoa mass after being processed, to reduce the fat content. Types of cocoa
powder:
•
Natural: 10-12% - 20-22%. Has an acidic, somewhat astringent flavor
with a typical chocolate note. Common uses: Brownies, cookies, cakes
•
Alkaline: 10-12% - 20-22%. Alkalization partially neutralized the acids
present in cocoa and reduces the astringency . Common uses: Chocolate
drinks, pastries and confectionery.
