Pure chocolate extract is a fat-free product containing "top notes" which are lost in the processing of cocoa. Cocoa beans before processing are about 50 percent cocoa butter. The cocoa butter is actually worth more than the cocoa; so as much as possible is removed leaving fat-free cocoa. Chocolate extract can be used to replace these lost flavors, enhancing and balancing the overall chocolate characteristics. Star Kay White captures the delicate bouquet of freshly roasted cocoa beans and extracts the flavor in the same way vanilla extract is made. The world's two great flavors chocolate and vanilla can be used in the same way. Add to recipes where you want to intensify the chocolate flavor.
