Cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor is a pure cocoa mass in solid or semi-solid form. Similar to the cocoa beans from which it is produced, cocoa liquor contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter in roughly equal proportion. Cocoa liquor is produced from cocoa beans that are dried, fermented, roasted, and separated from their skins. The beans are grounded into a cocoa paste. The paste is melted to become the liquor, and the liquor is either separated into cocoa solids and cocoa butter or cooled and molded into blocks of raw chocolate. Its mainly used in making chocolate.
