unrefined Cocoa butter is extracted from cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao) and is available in several grades. The commonly available creamy white cocoa butter is usually solvent extracted from the residues remaining at the end of the expeller extraction process, and needs to be refined and deodorised. We supply only expeller extracted cocoa butter, which is partially deodorised but still maintains a light, pleasant chocolate smell.
