The real imported Russian purple candy is cocoa butter, but some imitation Russian purple candy will have cocoa butter instead. Authentic purple candy has chocolate luster, while fakes generally use cocoa butter instead, which is dull in color and rough in texture, so it is not refreshing to eat and can't find the feeling of "crunchy".

Non-cocoa butter, such as cocoa butter substitutes and cocoa butter-like butter, can be made to taste similar to natural cocoa butter through a series of artificial methods, but the taste is far from natural cocoa butter. Generally speaking, pure chocolate with high natural cocoa butter content is pure and rich in flavor, and its entrance is soft and smooth. However, because of its high production cost, manufacturers choose to produce cocoa butter instead.

Difference between cocoa butter and cocoa butter

1, raw material difference.

Cocoa butter, also known as cocoa butter, is a natural oil extracted from cocoa beans, while cocoa butter substitute is an artificial fat, which is generally mainly made of lauric or non-lauric stearin. The raw materials of the two are completely different.

2. Differences in nature.

Cocoa butter is generally in a solidified solid state at room temperature, and it can begin to melt when the temperature reaches above 34 degrees, and it is easy to frost when the temperature is slightly lower, while cocoa butter substitutes are also in a solidified solid state at normal temperature, but it will not frost when the temperature becomes lower.

3, the taste is different.

Cocoa butter generally has a special smell, mellow fragrance, hard and crisp taste and strong flavor, while cocoa butter substitutes are generally odorless and silky but tasteless.
