Raw Unrefined Cacao Butter | Prime-Pressed & Food-Grade

Cacao Butter is the edible fat that is naturally present and extracted from Cacao Beans. It is also called theobroma oil and is a pale brown, edible vegetable fat packed with antioxidants. With a melting point just below body temperature, it creates a smooth texture in desserts and cosmetics. Cacao butter is a major ingredient in practically all types of chocolates (white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate).

This application continues to dominate the consumption of cacao butter. Cacao butter can be found in most supermarkets, and the process of preparing small amounts of chocolate from cacao butter and cacao powder means that the practice of making chocolate at home has become relatively popular.

Cacao Butter is more than just a delicious ingredient; it's also loaded with nutrients that offer several health benefits:

• Reduce Heart Disease: Oleic acid protects you against atherosclerosis (fat build-up in your blood vessels) by reducing cholesterol. A research study revealed that daily consumption of 6 grams of chocolate could reduce heart disease risk, in part because of the oleic acid content.
• Prevent Diabetes: A study from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Cohort showed that regularly consuming 28g of chocolate per week could lower the risk of diabetes by 34%.
• Decrease High Blood Pressure: Another study of the Kuna Indians on the Caribbean coast of Panamá revealed that the tribespeople had an unusually low incidence of hypertension. This effect is attributed to cacao's regular consumption with doses of over five cups a day, even though their salt intake was relatively high.
• Cognitive Support: Omega-3 fatty acids also support cognitive function and help reduce cognitive impairment and dementia in the elderly. A Harvard Medical School study revealed that drinking two cups a day of hot chocolate could support brain health and lower memory loss in older people.
