All of these minerals are found in greater quantities in our cocoa powder than any either cocoa butter or cocoa liquor. Our cocoa solids also contain 230 mg of caffeine and 2057 mg of theobromine per 100g, which are mostly absent from other components of the cocoa bean.
How JonNestor Limited Cocoa Powder is Manufactured
Our high quality cocoa powder is easily dissolved and have good flavor. Our cocoa beans we used for manufacturing of our cocoa powder are selected especially for this purpose. After roasting and winnowing (removing the outer shell from the cacao beans) the cocoa beans are ground in making cocoa liquor. Heat is then apply melting the cocoa fat thus generating a liquor, and additional heating is employed to the liquor which hardens to unsweetened chocolate when it cools below 95 degrees F / 35 degrees C.
We then employed pressure to the cocoa liquid (while slightly heated) to remove some of the fat which is also called cocoa butter. The remaining cocoa solids contains 10-25% cocoa butter depending on specification. The solids are then ground to cocoa powder. Sometimes the cocoa is made alkaline by treatment with potassium carbonate. This gives a darker colour and a stronger flavour.
