Production & Sourcing
These pods are split open to reveal cacao beans, surrounded by a sweet pulp. The beans undergo fermentation, a critical step for flavor development, before being dried to reduce moisture content. Following this, they’re roasted to bring out the rich chocolate flavors.
The roasted beans are then mechanically processed to separate the nibs from the cocoa butter. The cocoa butter is then further refined and shaped into small, convenient kibbles.

Uses in manufacturing
Cocoa Butter – Natural Kibbles are a crucial component in chocolate-making. They are melted down and combined with cocoa solids, sugar, and often milk solids to create different types of chocolate, including dark, milk, and white chocolate. The kibbles contribute to the smooth texture and glossy finish of the final chocolate products.
They are used in the production of various confectionery items like truffles, pralines, and chocolate coatings for candies. The kibbles provide a smooth, creamy texture and aid in molding chocolates into desired shapes.
Cocoa Butter – Natural Kibbles can be used in baking to add a subtle chocolate flavor and enhance the texture of baked goods like cookies, brownies, and cakes. They contribute to a tender crumb and a rich, moist texture.
They are employed in the production of dessert items like mousses, ganaches, and chocolate fillings for pastries. The kibbles help create smooth, creamy textures and provide stability to fillings.

Main producing countries and Harvest time
Approximately 70% of the world’s cocoa beans come from West Africa, mainly from the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon.
The Ivory Coast produces cocoa beans all-year-round, producing two harvests: a small-mid crop in April-September and a larger crop harvested from October to March.
