Product Overview

Cocoa Ingredients — EU Bulk Supplier for Food & Confectionery

FDCM supplies the full range of cocoa and chocolate manufacturing ingredients from EU-audited supply chains, available from 25 kg per product with no framework contracts and no minimum annual volumes. The portfolio covers every key cocoa intermediate: three grades of cocoa powder, cocoa mass and deodorized cocoa butter — plus the complementary inputs every chocolate manufacturer needs: lecithins for viscosity control and bulk sugar.

Natural cocoa powder (10–12% fat, pH 5.5–6.0) retains the full acidic character and typical flavour of Theobroma cacao — preferred in recipes that rely on acidity for leavening reactions and in applications where true cocoa colour and taste are essential. Alkalized cocoa powder, available in standard fat (10–12%) and high-fat (20–22%) grades, has been treated with an alkalising agent to neutralise acidity, intensify colour and improve dispersibility in liquids. The high-fat grade (20–22%) gives exceptional richness in drinking chocolate and premium ice cream coatings. Cocoa mass (liquor) is the primary chocolate-making ingredient — 100% ground cocoa nibs at approximately 50–55% cocoa butter — forming the base of all dark chocolate and couverture. Deodorized cocoa butter provides the neutral fat phase for white chocolate, milk chocolate and compound coatings, and is equally valued in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

All FDCM cocoa ingredients are sourced from FSSC 22000 / BRC-certified producers with full lot traceability from origin. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis. Directive 2000/36/EC compliance for cocoa and chocolate products confirmed per shipment.

Applications

Where FDCM Cocoa Ingredients Are Used

Powders for beverages and bakery, mass and butter for couverture, butter for cosmetics — the same EU-stocked range covers every cocoa application.

🍫

Dark chocolate & couverture

Cocoa mass is the primary ingredient — combined with cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin to produce dark chocolate at any cocoa percentage. Natural cocoa powder adds intensity to compound coatings and ganache.

🥛

Milk & white chocolate

Deodorized cocoa butter is the essential fat phase in milk and white chocolate, providing melt profile without adding cocoa flavour. Soy or sunflower lecithin at 0.3–0.5% controls viscosity during conching.

🍰

Bakery & patisserie

Natural cocoa powder for recipes using baking soda (acid required for leavening). Alkalized 10–12% for brownies, chocolate cakes and dark biscuits. Alkalized 20–22% for premium patisserie where deep colour and richness matter.

Drinking chocolate & beverages

High-fat alkalized cocoa powder (20–22%) disperses readily in hot and cold milk, producing rich drinking chocolate with minimal grittiness. Also used in protein shakes, RTD beverages and barista-grade hot chocolate mixes.

🍦

Ice cream & frozen desserts

Alkalized cocoa powder and cocoa butter for chocolate ice cream bases and compound coatings. Cocoa butter provides the snap in enrobing coatings and the clean melt in tempered applications.

💄

Cosmetics & personal care

Deodorized cocoa butter (INCI: Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter) in lip balms, body butters, skin care and hair products. Neutral scent, sharp body-temperature melt, excellent emollient properties.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

FDCM supplies natural cocoa powder (10–12% fat), alkalized cocoa powder in 10–12% and 20–22% fat grades, cocoa mass (liquor), and deodorized cocoa butter. Complementary inputs include soy lecithin powder, sunflower lecithin powder and white sugar. All products are available from EU stock with CoA per batch.
Natural cocoa powder (pH 5.5–6.0) retains the inherent acidity and lighter colour of the cocoa bean. It reacts with sodium bicarbonate in baking, making it necessary in recipes that rely on this leavening reaction. Alkalized cocoa powder (pH 6.8–8.0) has been treated with an alkalising agent, producing a darker colour, milder flavour and better dispersibility in liquids. The 20–22% fat alkalized grade adds additional richness and is the preferred choice for drinking chocolate, premium fillings and ice cream applications.
Cocoa mass (also called cocoa liquor) is produced by grinding roasted cocoa nibs to a fine paste — it contains approximately 50–55% cocoa butter and 45–50% dry cocoa solids. It is the base ingredient for all dark chocolate: combined with additional cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin in varying ratios to produce the desired cocoa percentage and texture. Higher cocoa mass ratios yield darker, more intense chocolate.
Yes. FDCM has a 25 kg minimum per product line, but there is no minimum basket value across product lines. You can order, for example, 25 kg natural cocoa powder, 25 kg alkalized powder and 25 kg cocoa mass in a single shipment. All will ship together from EU stock with separate CoA documents per batch.
Yes. Deodorized cocoa butter is food and cosmetic grade. The INCI name is Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter. INCI documentation, cosmetic-grade CoA and allergen declarations are available on request at no additional charge.
The minimum order is 25 kg per product. No framework contracts or annual volume commitments are required. Business customers can create a free account on FDCM.eu and order directly.
