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.

What is Cocoa Butter?

Pure cocoa butter is made from cocoa beans. It is 100% cocoa solids, vegan and a great tasting edible ingredient you can use in chocolate making and cooking.

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.
