Cacao fruit puree is made from the white pulp under the shell of a cacao fruit pod. This white pulp is situated around the cacao beans, but has no chocolate flavor.
The pulp tastes sweet but also a bit sharp, with some hints of a pear. Even though it does not taste like chocolate, it combines extremely well with all the chocolate applications.
