Cocoa mass is produced by carefully blending cocoa beans of different origins through a precise control of temperature and pressure. This solution is derived from a variety of origins around the world, from West African to Asian to South American. Cocoa Mass is often referred to as “Cocoa Liquor” as it is essentially chocolate at its purest, most natural state. Each type of cocoa mass product produces unique flavour profiles unique to their origin, from stronger cocoa flavour with low bitterness and low acidity, to milder chocolate and fruity notes with a bit of acidity, to a more balanced overall profile. Each type of cocoa mass is distinguished on its own and perfect for product development for a variety of sweet applications.
