About Cocoa paste

Cocoa paste is a paste-form cocoa ingredient, though the label does not establish its precise composition or whether it is made from ground cocoa material alone or includes other ingredients. It is distinct in form from a dry cocoa powder.

It can be used in cocoa foods and preparations, where it contributes cocoa flavour and a thick or workable texture. Its firmness and smoothness depend on processing and temperature. Nutrition comparisons should match the product’s composition and paste form.
