Details

Experience cocoa in its purest form with these Republica del Cacao cocoa butter shavings! Created in the birthplace of cacao itself, this single-origin cocoa butter is grown, harvested, and processed in Latin America. It's created from fine cocoa beans that are sourced exclusively from Ecuador and features a creamy flavor with distinctive notes of cacao. This product is presented in thin shavings that offer enhanced portion control and ease of use and help to reduce product waste in your establishment.

These cocoa butter shavings are ideal for increasing the fluidity of your chocolate to yield a harder, thinner chocolate shell. They also help with stable, consistent crystallization and ultimately create a moisture barrier to provide the perfect set, snap, and gloss for candies! You can also use this product to aid in chocolate spray and fountain applications. The small shavings are easier to add into tempering chocolate than blocks or chunks to give you better control over your creations. This bulk 3.3 lb. supply is ideal for high-volume establishment and ensures your busy bakery won't run low on this essential ingredient!

In 2005, the Chiriboga brothers from Ecuador were visiting a chocolate shop in Paris and asked to taste their finest chocolate. When the chocolatier offered a sample of their most prized product, the brothers were amazed and delighted to learn that it was made with Ecuadorian cacao that was harvested just down the road from their home town. Upon learning that Ecuadorian cacao was considered the finest in the world, the Chiriboga brothers set out on a mission to locally produce the best and most authentic Latin American chocolate and Republica del Cacao was born. By committing to sustainable cacao production, locally sourcing all of their ingredients from Latin America, and partnering with cooperatives and independent farmers, Republica del Cacao is able to create chocolate that meets the highest standards while giving back to the land and communities that nurture their products. Grown in an ideal climate and carefully crafted with artisanal European chocolate-making techniques, Republica del Cacao chocolate offers the best of both worlds and delivers quality worthy of the world's finest chefs.
