Cold-pressed cacao butter made from Fine Aroma cacao we grow ourselves at Hacienda Umbelina, in the Peruvian Amazon. We don't source it — we grow it, harvest it and press it on the same farm. It's undeodorized, so it keeps the soft, natural aroma of fresh cacao.

Use it for homemade white chocolate, glossy ganaches, vegan confections and molded bars with a clean snap. It also adds silky texture to baking and raw desserts.

Why Do Heavy Metals in Cacao Matter?

Cacao can naturally contain trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Long-term exposure to these elements can raise health concerns, which is why understanding their levels in food matters.

At U-Chocolate, we believe great cacao deserves careful testing. That's why our organic cacao undergoes independent laboratory analysis for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. We share our results so you can make informed choices about the cacao you enjoy.

Chocolate straight from our farm

We're committed to growing and crafting exceptional cacao products and chocolate. Only the best chocolate can be created in ideal conditions, which is why sustainability is at the forefront of what we do.

Maintaining this natural balance is crucial to provide you chocolate that is not only healthy for you, but for the environment.

Easy ways to use the cacao butter

White chocolate

Homemade white chocolate: gently melt 1/2 cup cacao butter over low heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/3 cup milk powder (or coconut milk powder) and a drop of vanilla. Pour into molds and chill for 30 min.

Keto coffee

Silky keto coffee: blend 1 cup hot coffee with 1 tbsp cacao butter for 20 seconds until frothy. Add a splash of MCT oil or cinnamon if you like. Creamy, with a delicate cacao aroma.

Fat bombs & vegan treats

Easy fat bombs: melt 1/4 cup cacao butter with 1/4 cup seed butter, 1 tbsp cacao powder and your favorite sweetener. Pour into small molds and chill for 20 min.

Body butter

DIY body butter: melt 1/4 cup cacao butter with 2 tbsp coconut oil and 2 tbsp shea butter. Let it cool until it starts to set, whip with a mixer until fluffy and store in a jar.

FAQs

What is cacao butter?

The natural fat of the cacao bean. We cold-press it from Fine Aroma cacao grown on our own farm and keep it unrefined, so it keeps its delicate cacao aroma.

Is it unrefined and food-grade?

Yes. It's cold-pressed, unrefined and undeodorized, with nothing added. It's food-grade, so you can use it in the kitchen and in homemade body care.

How can I use it?

Make white chocolate and ganache, add it to vegan desserts, fat bombs and keto coffee, or use it as the base for homemade body butters and balms.

Is it kosher, gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. It's USDA Organic, kosher certified and vegan, and it's made in a dedicated facility free from the major allergens, including gluten, dairy and nuts.

Why did my cacao butter arrive melted or misshapen?

Cacao butter can melt and re-solidify in warm weather or during transit. Its shape may change, but it's still perfectly usable as cacao butter.

Is it suitable for tempering chocolate?

Yes. Cacao butter is the natural fat that gives chocolate its snap and shine, so it's a great ally for tempering. Melt it gently over low heat, add a little to your chocolate to make it more fluid for dipping and molding, and follow your usual tempering method.

Does it have a strong cacao flavor?

It's delicate rather than strong. Because it's unrefined and undeodorized, it keeps a natural, subtle cacao aroma, but on its own it doesn't taste like chocolate. In recipes it adds a light cacao note and a silky texture without overpowering other flavors.

Can I use it for skincare?

Yes. It's pure, food-grade cacao butter with nothing added, so it's a lovely base for homemade body butters, balms and lip balms. Melt it with oils like coconut or shea and let it set. As with any new ingredient, try it on a small area of skin first.
