Deodorized Cocoa Butter from Mexico
Deodorized cocoa butter is cocoa butter that has been treated to remove its natural aroma, resulting in a neutral flavor profile suitable for applications like white chocolate where a mild taste is desired. The deodorization process does not introduce any non-cocoa components, so the product remains pure cocoa fat. It is therefore classified as cocoa butter under this tariff item.
