What is cocoa?
Depending on the context, cocoa refers to the plant, its fruits and seeds, as well as the products made from them. The seeds of the cocoa plant (the cocoa tree) are called cocoa beans and form the basis of all cocoa products. As a versatile raw material with a distinctive flavour and a wide range of applications, cocoa is suitable for baked goods, chocolate, snacks, cosmetic formulations and many other uses.
Which forms of cocoa processing are there?
After harvesting, cocoa beans are processed in different ways depending on the desired end product. The most important forms include cocoa nibs, cocoa mass, cocoa butter and cocoa powder.
