ALCAO EOOD established

Cocoa, produced from the fruit of the cocoa tree, thrives in hot, wet climates near the equator.

In order to ensure the best quality for all products, we are directly importing cocoa beans predominantly from Ivory Coast and Ghana. Additional selection of beans from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Madagascar, and Cameroon are precisely added to the recipes for special flavors. Expert buyers inspect each crop for quality factors like ripeness, fermentation, and drying. The Group actively supports the cocoa farming communities through social responsibility projects in the fields of education and retirement.

Production range is in accordance with Halal, Kosher, RFA and all European regulations. We ensure all ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, and transportation meet certification standards.

ALCAO EOOD excels as a trusted outsourcing partner with a strong focus on customer satisfaction, providing high-quality services and products. With a large production capacity, reliable quality, and innovative capabilities, we offer customization, product development, and market expertise to assist major brands in expanding their presence on the Balkans and European Union.

Cocoa liquor

Our primary product is cocoa mass, an essential ingredient in chocolate and couverture coatings for various chocolate desserts. The product is also known as “cocoa liquor” and is derived after roasting and grinding cocoa beans. The cocoa beans undergo a complex process aimed at reducing their water content, which involves cleaning, roasting for flavour development and colour enhancement, followed by cutting and removal of shells. The cocoa nibs are then ground to produce cocoa liquor, with the nibs containing approximately 52-54% cocoa oil. Through the grinding process and the generated heat, the cocoa mass transforms into the liquid form of “cocoa liquor”, which is further refined to enhance its flavour using final grinders.

Cocoa liquor could be further alkalized during production to modify specific colour and flavour profile.
Cocoa liquor is available in both natural and alkalized and can be processed into either liquid or solid forms. We can supply in 25 kg box or 10 / 25 kg bags kibbled.

Cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is processed in both natural and alkalized varieties, with cocoa butter content ranging between 10-12% and 20-22%.

Natural cocoa powder has a more acidic taste and lighter color compared to alkalized cocoa products. Natural cocoa powder has a light-brown colour and pH of 5.3-5.8.

Alkalized cocoa powders undergo an additional process where they are treated with an alkaline solution to neutralize their acidity. This reduces the acidity and darkens the colour, ranging from a deep reddish brown to nearly black.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter а pale-yellow, edible natural vegetable fat. It is extracted from the cacao beans and can be used to make chocolate, cocoa powder, pharmaceuticals, ointments and toiletries.

The natural butter has the specific mild cocoa scent and flavour.

During the deodorization process, all odours are removed by using pure steam. No chemicals or bleaching agents take place during the deodorisation process.

Both natural and deodorized butter can be supplied either liquid or packed in 25 kg box.
