nature’s healthiest fat
Healthier than coconut fat, animal butters, peanut oil or any other fat that you might have on your shelf, cacao butter is the healthy natural fat that comes from the beans inside the cacao tree pod. Consider too that because Gumpel’s Air Fryer Spice™ sticks to the food and is not spread or poured into the pan, you use far less of it than, say olive oil. A healthy fat and a controlled, lesser amount used. Double win!
Higher smoke point temperature
The temperature at which fats and oils begin to smoke is called the smoke point. It may cause a smoky kitchen or a funky taste. Because Air Fryers are VERY hot, this piece of information becomes really important when choosing the oils that are in your air fryer. Olive oil has a relatively high smoke point (of 320 - 405 degrees F), depending on which whether the olive oil is Extra Virgin, Light or processed. But the average air fryer fries quickly and crisply at temperatures well above 400 degrees F. Our cocoa butter has a smoke point more like peanut oil & coconut oils.
From chocolate making
There is more fat in the cacao pod than is needed in the chocolate making process. A great deal of this healthy fat is usually wasted. Gumpel’s™ takes this 100% natural, healthy fat and crystalizes it, blending it with spices and delivers a whole new way to cook, from our chocolate partners without having to harvest any additional pods.
