Cacao beans contain 54-58% fat. The oil that is extracted from the cacao beans is called cacao butter and despite the name it is 100% plant based and vegan. It is a pale, yellow saturated fat that is stable at room temperature and has a subtle chocolate taste and aroma. It is used in dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate, and is also a useful stabilizer and binder in other sweets and desserts. Heat is commonly applied during production, so look for certified raw cacao butter if that
