Cocoa mass, also called chocolate liquor, is pure, unsweetened chocolate made by grinding cacao nibs, so it holds both cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Add it to ganache, praliné or ice cream for a stronger cocoa taste and a deeper chocolate colour, or blend it into a couverture to make it more bitter.
Can I Temper Cocoa Mass?
Yes. Because it contains cocoa butter - the part that needs tempering - you can temper cocoa mass like any other chocolate and mould your own dark, bitter 100% chocolate bars. Expect an intense, roasted cacao flavour.
Which Cocoa Mass Do We Stock?
Choose between Luker Chocolate Cocoa Mass and our unsweetened Cocoa Mass. Being 100% plant-based and dairy-free, cocoa mass can even form the base of a vegan chocolate range when paired with dairy alternatives. Bear in mind that adding mass to a chocolate deepens its bitterness but also reduces its fluidity, so it may need a little cocoa butter to flow.
