A pure gourmand dark chocolate profile.
It combines a deep, woody and warm profile of pure cocoa powder with the contrasting bitter, fruity nuances and animalic dry-down note of raw cocoa beans.
Inherited from our comprehensive range developed for flavor applications, this Cocoa extract offers a new way to introduce cocoa notes in perfumery accords.
Through direct extraction on powder, the molecular distillation brings high solubility, yielding a crystal-clear and liquid product, easy to use in composition and in factories.
Cocoa mass is produced from cocoa beans, which are deshelled and broken into cocoa nibs (the kernels). These kernels are alkalized (except for the natural cocoa powder), roasted and ground into fine cocoa mass. Approximately 60% of the world’s cocoa production is in Africa (Ivory Coast and Ghana), where small farms and cooperatives host their networks.
