Cocoa Mass

What is cocoa mass? Also known as chocolate liquor, cocoa mass is a combination of cocoa butter and cocoa solids, produced by grinding cacao nibs. Cocoa mass is a pure, unsweetened form of chocolate, allowing you to add intensity to the flavour and colour of your chocolate creations. It’s also perfect for adding to ganache, praliné and ice cream, giving a strong cocoa taste and deep chocolate colour to your sweet treats. 

A versatile ingredient that deserves its place in every chocolatier’s kitchen, cocoa mass can also be used to alter the characteristics of your favourite chocolate grades, or as an intense, cacao-flavoured filling.  

Looking to create your own 100% dark chocolate? You can temper cocoa mass like any other chocolate as it contains cocoa butter, which is the part that needs to be tempered, and use it to make your own dark and bitter, 100% chocolate bars. Just be prepared for an intense, roasted flavour of cacao! 

100% plant-based and dairy-free, you could even use cocoa mass to create your own vegan chocolate range, using dairy-alternatives. The possibilities are endless!
