From Cocoa Press Cake to Cocoa

Finely-ground cocoa liquor is separated into liquid cocoa butter and solid cocoa press cake in a chamber filter press.

Cocoa

While the cocoa butter is filtered and discharged in liquid form or into blocks, the compact cocoa press cake is pre-milled in roller crushers and then dry-milled into finely-ground cocoa powder.
