Blended from the finest West African cocoa beans, this deliver a perfectly balanced, full-flavored taste profile with rich cocoa notes and hints of dark coffee and sweet fruit, ideal for a range of chocolate and confectionery applications.
Differentiated by area of origin and bean roast levels, cocoa liquors are made from cocoa beans that have been dried, fermented, and roasted. The inner ‘nib’ is then separated from the outer shell of the bean and ground to create cocoa liquor. This liquor, or mass, has the consistency of melted chocolate and solidifies as it cools. The cocoa mass is pressed to separate the butter, and cocoa ‘cake’ which is ground into powder. Cocoa liquor is sold in a solid form and does not contain alcohol. It is different from cocoa liqueur, which is an alcoholic beverage.
