The beginning of cacao butter processing is started from dried cacao beans. After cacao beans are fermented, dried, roasted (below 40 degree celsius), cracked and removed their husks (winnowing process), it is turned into cacao nibs. Then, cacao nibs are ground into cacao liquor (cacao mass). After getting finest cacao liquor, it is pressed to extract cacao butter and leave cacao solids which are ground into finest powder.It is therefore considered plant- based fat.
