Q: Does Ghana produce brown/black cocoa butter?
A: Erm, NO. I have come across such butter and decided to investigate in June 2010 during my visit to Ghana. I conducted my own research which was supported by that of a cocoa expert. We both came to the conclusion that brown cocoa butter is actually cocoa butter + cocoa powder. As an experiment for the mad "kitchen chemist" in me, I decided to try and reproduce this. I melted 50g of cocoa butter to which I added 2g of cocoa powder and viola - I had brown cocoa butter!
I opened the cocoa butter first and could not believe the lovely chocolate smell, I now know that the other cocoa butter I have been using is not the real thing DORRETT - BEDFORDSHIRE

I am impressed by your cocoa butter, I guess for the first time I saw real Cocoa butter neither refined nor perfumed, but real. I even tasted it. .. Tastes like chocolate with no flavor.
