Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does “confetti” or “kibble” mean in cocoa butter?

A: Confetti or kibble refers to small, consistent pieces of cocoa butter that melt more quickly and evenly than solid blocks, making them ideal for precise production processes.

Q: Can I use cocoa butter for cosmetics?

A: Yes! Its stability and rich emollient properties make it great for lotions, balms, soaps, and other skincare products.

Q: Is cocoa butter healthier than other oils?

A: Cocoa butter is high in stable fats like stearic and oleic acids and offers a unique melting profile and mouthfeel that vegetable oils cannot mimic in chocolate.

Q: Can I substitute cocoa butter with shea butter in chocolate?

A: No — shea butter does not have the same melting and tempering properties as cocoa butter, so it isn’t a suitable substitute for chocolate applications.
