One of the most famous plants that spread from Africa to the whole world is undoubtedly cocoa. Especially after the discovery of the western world, many intermediate products have been obtained and used from various parts of the cocoa plant. Cocoa butter is also a frequently used product among these products. Non-deodorized cocoa butter is also preferred in non-industrial kitchens with its chocolate-like smell and thick structure. You can obtain a delicious drink by adding cocoa butter, which is very compatible with hot drinks other than desserts, to homemade coffee, sahlep or directly to milk.
Its traditional topical use is as old as its use in kitchens. The most important feature of cocoa butter is its ability to moisturize and care for the body thanks to its high fatty acids. Suitable for dry skin, cocoa butter is generally used in body care products and does not pose any risks.
