the fat or cocoa butter can be extracted from the bean in a number of ways. Pure press butter is extracted from the cocoa mass by horizontal presses.

A solvent extraction process can be used to extract butter from the cake residue left after the expeller process, this type of butter must be refined., kakaooad praetakse ja kooritakse; kakaoubade tuumadest saadakse kakaoubade mass (pruun vedel mass), millest pressitakse välja kakaovõi. Alles jääb kook, mis kuivatatakse ja jahvatatakse: nii saadakse kakaopulber.
