It contains cocoa butter and non-fat cocoa solids. These names do not establish whether the beans are fine flavour, whether the producer is a craft maker, or how the ingredient will perform in your recipe.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurococoa.com\/cocoa-story\/cocoa-story-the-production-process-from-cocoa-beans-to-semi-finished-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Cocoa Association describes cocoa paste, mass and liquor as alternative names<\/a>. In purchasing, the ingredient list and product specification are more useful than a distinction based on the words alone.<\/p>\n<h2>What does \u201cchocolate mass\u201d mean?<\/h2>\n<p>Suppliers use the term in different ways. It may describe cocoa mass or a chocolate mixture that also contains sugar and other ingredients. Ask for the exact composition. \u201cChocolate mass\u201d is not a separate premium bean category, and \u201ccocoa mass\u201d does not mean a lower-quality industrial product.<\/p>\n<h2>100% cocoa mass or finished 70% dark chocolate?<\/h2>\n<p>Comagro\u2019s <a href=\"\/et\/tootekategooria\/chocolate-masses\/\">100% cocoa masses<\/a> are unsweetened ingredients. Choose them when you want to set the sweetness and cocoa content of a formulation yourself. <a href=\"\/et\/toode\/dark-chocolate-honduras\/\">Honduras 70% finished dark chocolate<\/a> already has its own composition and sweetness. It is the more direct starting point when your recipe calls for that finished chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing 70% chocolate with the same weight of 100% cocoa mass changes the balance of the recipe. You must reconsider sugar, fat and the other ingredients. Tempering controls crystallisation for products such as bars and shells; it does not add missing sugar or correct an unsuitable formulation.<\/p>\n<h2>Check these details before ordering<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the ingredient and allergen information for the exact product.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the cocoa percentage and whether sugar has been added.<\/li>\n<li>Compare the origin, tasting profile and intended applications.<\/li>\n<li>Check pack size, production date, storage instructions and shelf life.<\/li>\n<li>Run a small trial in your own recipe before scaling production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Choosing an origin is a separate decision<\/h2>\n<p>Once the composition is right, compare flavour. A berry-led cocoa mass may suit a different dessert from a rounded cocoa-led profile. \u201cBlueberry\u201d, \u201ccitrus\u201d or \u201cnutty\u201d on a tasting card describe sensory impressions, not added ingredients.
