Chocolate liquor is the paste formed when roasted cacao nibs are ground. It contains both cocoa butter (the fat from the beans) and the non-fat cocoa solids, giving you a thick, fatty chocolate paste. Water, syrup, or fruit in packaging are not part of this product—they’re used for other foods, not for chocolate liquor. In chocolate making, the liquor can be pressed to separate cocoa butter from the solids, but as it’s produced, it’s a blend of fat and solids from the cacao.
