History

The history of cocoa beans dates back to the Mayans and Aztecs, who used them to enrich various dishes and delicacies. The hot drink ‚chocolat‘ was particularly popular and was prepared for festive occasions. The high content of phytochemicals and other substances beneficial to the body makes it clear why cocoa beans were considered the food of the gods. Cocoa beans themselves were so valuable that they were even used as currency.

Origin and cultivation

The country of origin is Peru, which, thanks to its location, provides the cacao tree with ideal conditions for proper growth. Since the cacao tree is a tropical plant, it thrives only in areas with high temperatures and also high humidity, which can reach up to 80%. This evergreen tree is very sensitive to sunlight and wind, so it is grown under the shade of banana trees, coconut palms and other tropical trees, which are therefore called cocoa mothers. The seeds known as cocoa beans are used to produce cocoa butter. The seeds are mainly used by the plant for reproduction. The dispersed seeds then grow into new plants, which is one reason why the seeds are so rich in nutrients.

Production process

The raw material for cocoa butter is cocoa beans. The cocoa beans are shelled and crushed to produce what is known as cocoa mass. Pressing the cocoa mass produces cocoa butter of a light yellow colour. After solidification, the cocoa butter is in the form of chopped pieces – see photo on the package label → sales package.

Composition and properties

Cocoa butter is a vegetable fat characterised by its delicious taste and aroma. It is a natural source of vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances for the body. The representation of the individual fatty acids in cocoa butter differs from other vegetable oils. Depending on the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids, cocoa butter is solid at room temperature and melts at temperatures above 28°C. It melts slowly in the mouth, making it an ideal fat for the production of high-quality chocolates.

Instructions for use

Cocoa butter can be used to make homemade chocolates, cakes, desserts and biscuits. It is also used in savoury cuisine as it is suitable for frying.

BEWIT Kakaové maslo, 200 G

Dnes som si vyrobila svoj prvý domáci telový krém a cítim sa skvelo. Úplne prírodný. Použila som kakaové maslo, mandľový olej, kokosový olej a EO levanduľa. Vonia krásne…najviac cítim to kakaové maslo. :-) Krém som už aj otestovala a pokožka je po ňom úplne krásne jemná… a moje nadšenie pre Bewit rastie raketovou rýchlosťou.

BEWIT Masło kakaowe, 200 G

Chce się podzielić moim zachwytem nad masłem kakaowym . Dostałam w prezencie słoik masła kakaowego z Nigerii ( bardzo dobra jakosc ) i, porownalam z masłem z Bewit . W niczym nie odbiega od masła nigerjanskiego . Ta sama konsystencja , ten sam przepyszny , cudowny zapach … Zaraz ukręciłam krem do twarzy z lawendą i trawa cytrynową i poszłam na spacer !
