Product Information

They taste rich and like a top quality, high cocoa content, chocolate (those with some added sugar etc). Content on this site is not intended to substitute for advice given by medical practitioner, pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professional. Cocoa mass and cocoa powder are both derived from the cocoa bean, but they serve different purposes in the world of chocolate and baking.

After being extracted from cocoa beans, the mass, which includes both cocoa solids and cocoa butter, serves as the foundation of any chocolate product. As a chocolatier, I take great pride in utilising this wonderful ingredient to create moments of joy and indulgence. However, it’s important to note that while cocoa mass itself is vegan and dairy-free, it is often used in the production of various types of chocolate, some of which may include added ingredients such as milk or other animal-derived products. Like the nibs from which it is produced, it contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter in roughly equal proportion. I have made peanut butter cups with it and they still taste good but I have to add sweetener for my husband's and it makes an already thick mixture much harder to work with.The nibs are ground into a paste which is melted to become the liquor, and the liquor is either separated into cocoa solids and cocoa butter, or cooled and molded into blocks of raw chocolate. From a chocolatier’s perspective, understanding cocoa mass and how it interacts with other ingredients is crucial in crafting a perfectly balanced chocolate.

Taste varies from drop to drop, some are very bitter, others are sweet so if eating raw, I eat them 3 or 4 at a time to get a blend.Trotzdem ist da die Süße der Datteln und der Crunch und damit schmeckt mir die Eigenkreation als kleine Nascherei sehr gut und ist auch noch gesund.
