Does Cocoa Butter Contain Dairy?

Alisa Fleming ~ I know many of you are wondering, “Does cocoa butter contain dairy?” Well, chocolate lovers rejoice!  Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, and Mango Butter are all dairy free and vegan ingredients. The word butter is utilized for many foods with more regard to the product’s texture, rather than its actual ingredients. As further examples, peanut butter, almond butter, apple butter, pumpkin butter, and seed butters are also traditionally free of milk ingredients.

Note that food-grade cocoa butter (for making your own goodies!) is often labeled as Cacao Butter.
