Les marques qui restent dans le peloton de tête mènent en imitant la crédibilité, en étant contemporaines et innovantes.

Production of cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is extracted from cocoa beans, which are primarily grown in West Africa, with Ghana and Ivory Coast being the largest producers. The first step in cocoa butter production is the cocoa bean roasting line. Roasting beans enhances their flavor and aroma, which is essential for chocolate-making. After roasting, the beans are ground into a coarse cocoa powder and processed into cocoa mass, also known as chocolate liquor. The chocolate liquor is then subjected to a hydraulic press, which separates the cocoa solids from the cocoa butter. The cocoa butter is then purified to remove any unwanted residue and is odorless. Cocoa butter can be produced through different processes, such as the expeller process, solvent extraction process, and continuous expeller presses.

Applications of cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is an excellent ingredient in chocolate-making due to its neutral flavor and smooth texture. It gives chocolate its creamy texture and adds to its rich flavor. Cocoa butter can also be used as a butter substitute in baking, especially in vegan or dairy-free recipes. Additionally, cocoa butter is used in cosmetic products such as skin care creams, lotions, and soaps due to its emollient and antioxidant properties.

Additional ingredients to combine with cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is often combined with additional ingredients to enhance its properties or add new benefits. For example, combining cocoa butter with shea butter can provide additional moisturizing benefits to the skin. Tea tree soap, when combined with cocoa butter, can be used to soothe skin irritations and improve skin health. Additionally, cocoa butter can be combined with other natural oils, such as coconut oil or olive oil, to make body care creams and lotions. The combinations are endless, making cocoa butter a versatile ingredient in the beauty industry.

The chemistry of cocoa beans

Cocoa beans contain roughly 50% cocoa butter, which is the primary fat in chocolate. They also contain cocoa solids, which give chocolate its distinctive taste and aroma. Cocoa beans have a complex chemical composition, with over 300 aromatic chemicals present in them. The alkalinity of water used in the processing of cocoa beans affects the flavor and color of the cocoa powder and chocolate. The alkalising process, also known as Dutch processing, is used to reduce the acidity of cocoa powder and give it a milder flavor.
