Cocoa paste (also called cocoa liquor) is ground cocoa nibs in retail pack format, containing cocoa solids and cocoa butter in natural proportions. It serves as a fundamental ingredient for chocolate manufacturers, confectioneries, and bakeries requiring bulk cocoa content. International trade distinguishes between natural (non-alkalized) and dutched (alkalized) variants, with cocoa content typically ranging from 50-99%. West Africa dominates production, particularly Ivory Coast and Ghana, which supply approximately 75% of global cocoa. Additional significant producers include Indonesia, Cameroon, and Ecuador. Buyers should verify fermentation and roasting consistency through organoleptic testing and cocoa butter percentage specifications, as these directly impact final chocolate flavor profiles and viscosity characteristics.
