Cacao Butter is the main base ingredient of white chocolate. Cacao Butter is the pressed fat from cocoa beans. It is technically 100% cocoa solids without the brown fiber part, this is why it is a pale yellow white color. Cacao Butter is the same as cocoa butter. The Santa Barbara Chocolate version is vegan, GMO free and with a subtle flavor. Cacao Butter by Santa Barbara Chocolate is sold in a large block and made from 100% cacao fruit with no added fillers. Pure cocoa butter is edible and prized for the quality flavor and versatility in cooking recipes. Cocoa butter vs shea butter is a decision where cocoa butter is the smart choice because of moisturizing effects and how it is seen as being good for stretch marks.

Is Cacao Butter and Cocoa Butter the same thing?

Yes, it is the same single ingredient and the terms are synonyms. Cacao Butter as a definition is more popularly used in Latin America while Cocoa Butter is the standard of identity used in the USA. Cocoa fat and Cocoa oil are common names also. The process of making the ingredient can vary as can the resulting raw material after pressing. Santa Barbara Chocolate tests for heavy metals and harmful chemicals for food safety. You will notice the difference in tasting and manufacturing quality.

Vegan Cacao butter is one of the most versatile of all chocolate ingredients.

To make cocoa butter white chocolate truffles (you can try variations and use vegan milk options like Almond or Hemp).

Cacao Butter Truffles Ingredients (white chocolate truffles)

16 oz cacao butter
5 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 oz honey
chopped nuts
 
Melt all ingredients together over low heat and stir until smooth, pour into a bowl and give it a few hours to set up. Scoop into balls and roll in nuts = white chocolate truffles. *Sweetened condensed milk is most shelf stable but you can also use cream or vegan milk for low sugar versions or combinations thereof (boil cream first before mixing for sanitation reasons and to reduce the water content). 
 
*Cacao butter can be used in place of coconut oil or butter in all recipes. Try adding to coffee (more enjoyable than ghee coffee because it thickens without too much flavor).
 
The cacao butter block has a bigger flavor than the cocoa butter chips. The cocoa butter chips are made for cooking, keto recipes and fast easy use on a smaller kitchen scale, so a medium flavor is key in the usage and application (the butter is pressed from a particular type of exotic cacao). The cacao butter block is made for chocolate making and specialty manufacturing. It is pressed from a combination of flavor beans including a Brazilian variety.  The block has been very mildly deodorized to remove some of the intense raw cacao flavor (predominantly wet notes). Too much cacao / butter flavor can influence a delicately flavored ganache and might present problems in having a true flavor result. For example, if you are making a wild strawberry ganache you might want to use cocoa butter in the recipe as a carrier of the flavor. In this case you would not want too big and overpowering cacao pod, raw cacao flavors that could upstage the natural and delicate wild strawberry essence.
