If you buy your cocoa butter from one supplier and your cocoa powder from another, you are running two origins for material that could have come off the same beans.
Plenty of makers do it, usually because the range grew one product at a time and nobody went back to tidy it up. It is worth going back.
We supply five lines out of Ghana. Cocoa butter. 100 per cent cocoa mass. Natural non-alkalised cocoa powder. Roasted cocoa nibs. And wild harvested Grade A shea butter.
The four cocoa lines are the same beans at four stages. Fermented, sun dried at origin, roasted, then taken apart at our partner facility in Tema. So the butter you add to a bar and the powder you finish it with share a lineage, not just a shelf.
Shea is the exception and we say so plainly. It is its own material, gathered from wild trees in Northern Ghana. It is not a cocoa butter substitute and we have never sold it as one.
What the range buys a buyer is dull and useful. One origin to put in front of your technical team, one relationship to keep warm, and one place to ask when a specification question comes up. On the butter, the mass and the powder, the certificate of analysis for the batch is available on request.
If you are buying cocoa this quarter and something else next, tell us what you run and we will come back on it: https://www.cocoafoundry.co.uk/pages/social-enquiry?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social
