CHOC Chick has introduced Organic Raw Cacao Butter in the form of 3g cocoa bean shapes.

This brand new launch from the online supplier of raw chocolate making kits and organic cacao ingredients, makes cacao butter as easy to fry and cook with as olive oil or coconut oil, is just as healthy, but requires only a small amount.

Cacao Butter is free from dairy, gluten and sugar and high in oleic acid, a heart healthy fat, known to reduce cholesterol and inflammation. Cacao butter is not just for cooking with, it is especially good for moisturising skin, hair and lips and, because of its anti-inflammatory properties, is particularly good for people with eczema, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Cooks can use a smaller quantity of raw cacao butter than coconut oil, yet still achieve the same results. At £4.99 per 100g bag, this makes CHOC Chick’s Organic Raw Cacao Butter exceptional value for money.

Cacao butter is a stable, heart healthy fat that, unlike coconut oil, won’t go rancid. It’s ideal for cooking and adds a divine richness to fried food. Just one CHOC Chick 3g cocoa bean is enough to fry eggs with, while two beans is sufficient for frying meat or fish. Adding a single cacao bean to stews and chillis, meanwhile, will give them extra richness and umami without excess fat.

CHOC Chick’s Organic Raw Cacao Butter is ethically sourced and comes from the same plantations and Nacional Arriba cocoa beans as its award winning, organic raw cacao powder. The butter, which is the natural fat from the cocoa bean, is completely dairy free and retains its natural raw goodness because CHOC Chick melts it at low temperatures (below 42°C).

It’s also a powerful source of antioxidant flavanols, palmitic acid, stearic acid, magnesium, iron and vitamin E.

Galia Orme, founder of CHOC Chick, said: “Few people are fully aware of the health benefits of raw cacao butter which are similar to coconut oil, and for those who are, there haven’t been any products that make it easy for them to use. Until now. With the CHOC Chick Organic Raw Cacao Butter, we’re hoping to raise awareness of this wonderful ingredient and enable more people to enjoy the health benefits it provides.”

CHOC Chick products are stocked in over 600 stores across the UK, US and Europe. These include Holland & Barrett UK, De-Tuinen (Benelux region), Whole Foods Market UK, Whole Foods Market USA (North Atlantic region), John Lewis, OCADO, Waitrose Online, Harvey Nichols, Infinity Foods and Magasin Du Nord in Copenhagen.
