While cocoa powder often takes the spotlight, Cocoa Butter is the golden heart of the chocolate industry. At PT Nutrisi Kakao, we produce high-quality Pure Prime Pressed (PPP) cocoa butter that serves as the essential base for chocolate manufacturing.
What is PPP Cocoa Butter?
Pure Prime Pressed means the butter is extracted from the cocoa mass solely by mechanical pressure (hydraulic pressing), without the use of any chemical solvents. This method preserves the natural integrity of the fat.
Natural vs. Deodorized
We offer two main types of cocoa butter to suit different applications:
- Natural Cocoa Butter: Retains the distinct aroma and flavor of cocoa. Ideal for making chocolate where a strong cocoa profile is desired.
- Deodorized Cocoa Butter: Undergoes a steam stripping process to remove volatile compounds responsible for odor and flavor. This neutral butter is perfect for:
- White chocolate (where milk flavor should dominate)
- Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
- Confectionery requiring a neutral fat base
Key Characteristics
Our cocoa butter is prized for its:
- Sharp Melting Point: Melts perfectly at body temperature, giving chocolate its characteristic "snap" and mouthfeel.
- Low Free Fatty Acids (FFA): Indicating high quality and freshness (typically < 1.75%).
- Clean Profile: Filtered and processed to ensure purity and stability.
With our integrated processing facility, we ensure that our cocoa butter meets the rigorous demands of chocolatiers and cosmetic manufacturers alike.
