How are cocoa nibs made?

The cocoa beans are fermented, dried and ultimately roasted to help them develop all their cocoa flavours. They are then extracted from their shell and ground into fine pieces, or nibs.

What are cocoa nibs used for?

Professionals are using cocoa nibs more and more in their recipes. They give desserts a unique texture. They also have a very intense cocoa flavour. Their bitter notes are much sought-after for the unique taste they provide.

They are ideal for flavouring recipes and adding taste and texture. Nibs work wonderfully in cakes, ganaches, ice creams and even chocolate bars.
