Cocoa beans

Cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is an extremely common and versatile product with many healthy properties. Cocoa butter is a fat that is made from cocoa beans without pre-roasting, which makes them softer in taste and retains more health benefits. Next, the beans go through a crushing stage and the cocoa nibs are placed under the press. We produce butter by cold pressing on a vertical press in an oak tub. This technology for producing the butter requires more beans, but the resulting product retains all nutrients and biologically active substances, as well as pure natural taste.
