  • What is the difference between expeller and solvent-extracted cocoa butter?
  • 1. Expeller cocoa butter: the fat extracted by means of mechanical pressing from material which has approximately the composition of whole cocoa beans. 2. Solvent-extracted cocoa butter: the fat obtained from cocoa beans or cocoa waste materials by means of extraction with permitted solvents.‌
  • How does a cocoa press work?
  • In large part, it comes to direct pressing of cocoa mass in horizontally run expeller presses at 400–500 bar and a temperature of 90°C–100°C for separation into the cocoa butter and cocoa powder streams. While the liquid cocoa butter flows away, the bone-hard cocoa cake remains. Kibbling and fine grinding of that press cake results in cocoa powder.‌
  • How is cocoa made?
  • From here, either being shipped in trucks or in blocks after bagging into plastic-lined cardboard boxes, it enters the chocolate process. In large part, it comes to direct pressing of cocoa mass in horizontally run expeller presses at 400–500 bar and a temperature of 90°C–100°C for separation into the cocoa butter and cocoa powder streams.‌
  • How is cocoa pumped?
  • Encyclopaedia of Food Science, Food Technology and Nutrition, Macrae R, Robinson RK and Sadler MJ (eds), 1993, Academic Press. The cocoa mass is pumped to horizontal hydraulic presses, with pots lined up face to face, each equipped with very fine mesh metal filter screens.‌
  • How is Cocoa Cake made?
  • First, the cocoa cake is broken into kibbled cake. Then further milling generates the fine powder. Packing is into lined paper bags or in bulk containers. The two main trade qualities are 10/12 and 20/22, the first one is by far the main product. The numbers indicate the content of cocoa butter left after pressing.‌
  • Where is cocoa made?
  • Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is mostly produced in West African countries, mainly the Ivory Coast and Ghana (60 % out of the world’s total cocoa), but is usually processed in the European Union (40 % in 2014), Indonesia, United States, and Brazil (ICCO, 2020b).
