What is cocos fat?

Cocoa fat, also known as cocoa butter, is a pale-yellow, edible fat extracted from cocoa beans during the chocolate-making process. It has a smooth texture and a mild chocolate flavor, making it a key ingredient in chocolate products, as well as in cosmetics and skincare due to its emollient properties. Cocoa butter is prized for its ability to remain solid at room temperature but melts at body temperature, contributing to the smooth mouthfeel of chocolate.
