Cocoa mass

Cocoa mass, also known as chocolate liquor, is a paste made from crushed roasted cocoa beans. It contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter, giving it a deep, rich chocolate flavor. Cocoa mass forms the base for many chocolate products and is used to create various textures and tastes. It is produced by grinding the beans into a smooth, thick liquid without adding any ingredients. Despite its name, it doesn’t contain alcohol. Cocoa mass is fundamental in making chocolates, providing the intense chocolate taste and characteristic smoothness you find in chocolate bars and confections.
