NOTE: A combination of poor harvests in Western Africa, due to disease outbreaks and socio-economic issues, this means shortages and the highest prices in over 40 years. We are working to secure stock at competitive pricing. Hopefully this will, the supply and demand will stabilize.
Handling: To avoid crystallization when melting the cocoa butter, it is best to temper it. It's simple to do: raise the temperature of your melting cocoa butter slowly, over 45 minutes.
