Z-Company Organic cacao butter, block

Z-Company Organic cacao butter, block is known for its overall nutritional properties and health benefits. The cacao butter from Z-Company is made of beans originating from West Africa, primarily Ghana and Ivory Coast. In order to make our cacao butter, the finest cacao beans are selected and fermented to reduce their initial bitterness. Cacao butter is made by pressing ground, milled cacao nibs to make a solid paste. This process separates the butter from the powder. The butter is solidified into blocks. Cacao butter contains a high proportion of saturated fats, derived from healthy acids – stearic and palmitic.
