Please note this product is Cacao Butter. It is essentially the same as Cocoa Butter however Cacao Butter is often more nutrient dense due to less processing, but otherwise they are totally interchangeable. Both Cacao butter and Cocoa butter refer to the edible fat extracted from cacao beans. While the terms are often used interchangeably, "Cacao Butter" can sometimes distinguish a less processed, low-temperature raw/ virgin product. Cocoa Butter can sometimes refer to a more processed, high-temperature product that may be refined or deodorised. Therefore the difference can be tied to temperature processing. Many manufacturers do not make this distinction and sometimes Cocoa Butter can be virgin and processed at a lower temperature and identical in goodness to Cacao Butter. Therefore that can be the same or different depending on a variety of factors. Sometimes it is simple referred to as Cacao Butter in the food industry and Cocoa Butter in the beauty industry. Always refer to the information provided to choose the product right for you.
