Pressed Cocoa Butter from Germany
Pressed cocoa butter is obtained by hydraulic pressing of cocoa liquor, a mechanical process that retains the natural aroma of the cocoa. This product is the primary cocoa fat extracted from cocoa beans and is not chemically altered. It is therefore classified as cocoa butter under this tariff item, as it is a pure cocoa fat.
