Our Cocoa Butter wafers from Côte d'Ivoire are certified organic, Fair Trade certified, and Kosher. Pure prime pressed cacao beans from Côte d'Ivoire have a delicious rich chocolate aroma and shelf life of at least 3 years. Because Cocoa Butter melts above 29C/85F we ship wafers in a jar. Recommended storage: 15C/60F. The advantage with Cocoa Butter wafers is the ease of adding into formulations without all the mess and fuss of cutting pieces from a solid block.
