Botanical Name: Theobroma cacao (pronounce kah-kow)
Country of Origin: Peru
Production: After the ripe pod has been cut from the tree, it is opened, the rind discarded, and the pulp and seeds laid out for several days. During this time the pulp liquefies or “sweats” and fermentation starts, which softens the bitter taste and helps to unlock the full aroma of the cacao bean. This fermentation process is usually followed by gently roasting the beans to enhance the chocolate aroma. The beans are then crushed and their thin skins removed so that only pieces or “nibs” remain. Cacao nibs are then ground into a thick brown liquid called cacao paste (aka cacao mass or liquor) which is made up of cacao butter (55-60%) and suspended fine cacao particles. This cacao paste is subsequently pressed until it separates into cacao butter and a cacao “cake” which is then ground to produce cacao powder.
Qualities: Cacao butter, also known as theobroma oil, is a stable, edible vegetable fat derived from cacao beans. With its smooth texture and subtle chocolate aroma, it is widely used in both culinary and cosmetic applications. Its most popular use is in the production of chocolate, where it provides creaminess and structure.
White Chocolate Truffles: melt 1cup cacao butter over the lowest heat possible. Add to a blender along with ¾cup cashew butter, 4-5Tbsp honey, 1tsp vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until smooth. Place candy mold onto a cookie sheet and pour liquid white chocolate into candy molds. Transfer to the freezer and enjoy when hardened.
Cacao butter melts near body temperature, making it a popular base ingredient in homemade confections, as well as in body care formulations like lip balms, soaps, and moisturizers. It also acts as a natural thickener and contributes a luxurious texture and scent to DIY beauty products.
Body Butter Recipe: In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except for the essential oils (½cup cacao butter, ½cup shea butter, ½cup coconut oil, ¼cup vegetable glycerin). Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add 10-30 drops of your favorite organic essential oils. Move to fridge and let cool. Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy. Return to fridge for 10-15 minutes to set. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would regular lotion or body butter. Enjoy!
Storage: Best kept at room temperatures around 20C (68F), away from direct sunlight, protected from moisture, and tightly sealed.
