                                By its very nature, cocoa—derived from the cacao bean—is entirely dairy-free. Navigating chocolate products, however, presents a challenge for those avoiding dairy, which leads many to question: what percentage of cocoa is dairy free? The answer lies not in the cocoa itself, but in the other ingredients combined with it during processing.
