Is this cocoa butter unrefined?

Seems to be raw to me. Its in hard chunks. Its not smooth and creamy. I made exfoliant bars with it and it worked really well

I agree with CDR-the cocoa butter has a strong scent. I was not successful adding oils and getting the smell to come through over the cocoa butter smell. Orange goes well with the cocoa butter, but still it's hard to detect.

I would suggest you go to the Callebaut website. There is cocoa butter in it - I don't know if there is anything dairy in that.

The pouch says that it is non-alkalized. From the online research I did, this is NOT dutched cocoa.

Hello,It doesn't say on the package if it was heated or not but it says it has an acidity regulator of potassium carbonate. That and cocoa are the two ingredients . Not sure if this answers your question. It also is organic and fair trade. It's very good.

I believe so. The texture and quality is good, however, it does not smell like chocolate. There is a new kind of cocoa being grown in South America and it is so mild it doesn't have the trademark scent.

The label doesn't say whether or not it is "unrefined". It just says "white raw". I assumed that raw by definition was unrefined. I've used it in creams, lotions and cold process soaps. I'm very happy with it.

The white "chocolate" ingredients include 'artificial colors'. If that comprises dye one would need query Ghriardelli. In the case of the white product one might inquire if they have another product that does contain cocoa butter.

The package says "100 % pure. Crushed Butter obtained from the Cacao bean....This edible pod is a stable fat....." It continues to list all the reasons this product is good for on the outside of your body. I use this for soap, lotion and salves. It has a very strong chocolate aroma. It is very hard. It is cream colored. It smells like chocolate but I have never eaten it. I tasted the dust for you. It tastes like dry oil. No chocolate flavor, just aroma.

I just tasted it and it seems unsweetened. I haven't used it for baking yet so I can't really know for sure. The label says 100% pure cocoa so I am assuming it is pure cocoa without any additives...sugar or otherwise.

The melting point of cocoa butter is 93 degrees Fahrenheit, so yes it is solid at room temperature.

Yes this salt is unrefined & the taste is awesome. Best sea salt I've ever used. Hope this helps. :)

I transfer some to a tin for frequent use leaving the rest in the double plastic bags and kept it in a large tin until more is needed in the smaller tin. You buy cocoa off the shelf in the supermarket in a simple container - nothing happens to it. I don't refrigerate it.

It is "unrefined" which is to say it hasn't been processed in any way in my understanding. You can use it like you would a cooking oil or like in my case, I mix it in with foods I feed to my parrots! It doesn't have to be heated up but sometimes it gets kind of solid when it is cold in your house so heating it slightly can make it easier to use. Hope this helps answer your question.

I look for unrefined in all the butters that I use because it is processed less. As I understand it, and I an not an expert, heating destroys some of the vitamins that are in the butters. It also changes the smell. I have never found the smell of any of the butters offensive.
