It is widely used in chocolate production due to its smooth texture, rich flavor, and melting characteristics. Beyond food applications, cocoa butter is extensively utilized in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, aromatherapy, and personal care products.
India’s cocoa butter industry is benefiting from increasing urbanization, rising disposable income levels, changing dietary habits, and growing consumer awareness regarding organic and natural ingredients.
