Unrefined cocoa butter pastilles

Unrefined Cocoa Butter Pastilles

Description:
Unrefined cocoa butter pastilles are small, disc-shaped pieces of pure cocoa butter that have been mechanically pressed from roasted cocoa beans and left in their natural, raw state. They retain the characteristic rich, chocolatey aroma and pale yellow to ivory color. Being unrefined, they are free from bleaching or deodorizing chemicals, preserving more of the natural antioxidants, fatty acids, and nutrients present in cocoa butter.

These pastilles are easy to measure and melt, making them ideal for both DIY and professional formulations in skin care, hair care, and food applications.
