Callebaut Cocoa Butter Callets 3kg

Cocoa Butter Callets

Callebaut Cocoa Butter Callets 3kg are made from 100% pure cocoa butter, pressed from a premium selection of whole roasted cocoa beans. With a neutral colour and flavour, they're an essential ingredient for anyone working with chocolate, giving you complete control over texture, fluidity and finish without affecting the taste of your creations.

Whether you're thinning chocolate for moulding, enrobing or creating delicate chocolate shells, cocoa butter helps achieve a smoother, more fluid consistency. It's also the perfect base for mixing oil-based food colourings when using a chocolate spray gun, making it ideal for creating coloured velvet finishes, bonbons and show-stopping desserts. Adding just a small amount to chocolate can improve its flow while also contributing to a beautiful glossy finish and satisfying snap.

At i4C, this is one of those behind-the-scenes ingredients that makes all the difference. It's not the star of the recipe, but it's often the reason beautifully moulded chocolates release cleanly, coloured cocoa butter sprays look flawless, and chocolate finishes with that professional shine everyone admires.

How much cocoa butter should be added to chocolate?

For most applications, adding between 1% and 8% cocoa butter to the total weight of your chocolate will improve its fluidity. Smaller amounts are ideal for slight adjustments, while larger additions are useful for very thin moulding and enrobing.

Why is cocoa butter used with chocolate spray guns?

Cocoa butter melts to a smooth, stable consistency and carries fat-soluble food colourings evenly. This creates the fine mist needed for velvet coatings, coloured moulds and decorative chocolate finishes.

Does adding cocoa butter affect the flavour of chocolate?

Pure cocoa butter has a very neutral flavour and aroma, so it enhances the working properties of chocolate without changing its characteristic taste. This makes it ideal for improving texture and presentation while maintaining the original chocolate profile.
