So, what is cocoa fat?

Cocoa fat, also known as cocoa butter, is a creamy, pale-yellow vegetable fat that is extracted from cocoa beans. It has a mild chocolate aroma and a rich, smooth texture that makes it a popular ingredient in chocolate and other confectionery products. With a melting point just below human body temperature, cocoa fat melts quickly on the tongue, delivering a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel. It is also prized for its stability and resistance to rancidity, which makes it an ideal ingredient for baked goods and other products that require a long shelf life. Cocoa fat is a versatile and decadent ingredient that is essential to the world of chocolate making.
