Natural Cocoa Butter
Naturally pressed cocoa butter, free fatty acids under 1.75%, melting point 31–35 °C, in 25 kg cartons.
- Free fatty acids held under 1.75% as oleic acid
- Melting point 31–35 °C for reliable tempering
- Iodine value 33–42 confirms pure cocoa butter
- Natural, not deodorised, so cocoa aroma is retained
Product overview
Cocoa butter pressed from Indonesian cocoa liquor and supplied in its natural state, keeping the pale yellow colour and mild cocoa aroma that reinforces flavour in dark and milk chocolate. Every lot reports free fatty acids, melting point, moisture, and iodine value, the four figures buyers use to confirm the fat is genuine cocoa butter and was pressed from well-dried beans.
Specification and authenticity
Free fatty acids under 1.75% indicate beans that were dried and stored properly, since hydrolysis shows up as off flavours and a shorter shelf life. A 31 to 35 °C melting point is what makes tempering work. Moisture at or below 0.2% protects against early rancidity. Iodine value between 33 and 42 confirms the fatty acid profile is cocoa butter and has not been extended with a cheaper vegetable fat, which is the substitution buyers most often need to rule out.
Applications and buyers
Chocolate and couverture makers add butter to adjust viscosity and build snap and melt. Confectionery producers use it in fillings and shells. Cosmetic and personal-care formulators use the same melting behaviour in balms, creams, and lip products. We supply natural butter only, so if your brief calls for deodorised material we will say so at enquiry stage rather than ship the wrong grade.
Packing, MOQ and shipping
Packed as 25 kg blocks in lined cartons, minimum order 5 MT, with a 3–4 week lead time from confirmation. Butter absorbs odours readily, so store at 15 to 20 °C below 60% relative humidity and away from spices and cleaning chemicals. Kept that way it holds quality for around two years, and surface bloom after a temperature swing is cosmetic rather than spoilage.
Frequently asked questions
Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.
What is your minimum order quantity?
For fermented grades the minimum is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). For unfermented Sulawesi and Java beans we can arrange partial loads from 5 MT, and LCL trial lots are available for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules.
Do you provide samples before ordering?
Yes. We courier 500 g – 2 kg samples of current lots, including cut-test photos and moisture readings. Sample costs are credited against your first order.
Which ports and incoterms do you work with?
We ship from Makassar and Surabaya under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms to most major ports. Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, and full loading documentation.
What payment terms do you accept?
Standard terms are 30% advance with order confirmation and 70% against copy of bill of lading. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for established buyers and larger contracts.
Which certifications can you supply?
Selected lots carry Rainforest Alliance, Organic, Fairtrade, and Halal (BPJPH) certification. Our Makassar processing and export warehousing facility operates under ISO 22000 and HACCP. Certification availability is listed on each product page.
Can you provide third-party inspection and laboratory COAs?
Yes. We can arrange SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates covering moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology on request. Inspection costs are quoted separately and agreed before booking.
Can you run a custom fermentation programme?
Yes, for wholesale buyers. We box-ferment against a written protocol (day count, turning schedule, target cut-test, drying moisture) booked on a named cooperative harvest, starting at one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Trial containers are available before a season contract. This is a container programme, not single-bag or micro-lot supply.
Do you offer OEM or private-label packing?
Yes. On recurring wholesale contracts we stencil buyer marks, print custom lot codes, and issue packing lists to your bag-mark requirements while keeping our legal entity on the commercial invoice unless otherwise agreed. Minimums stay at our standard wholesale floors. Send artwork and language requirements with your quote request; programme details are on the services page.
