Cocoa Butter Substitute, commonly known as CBS, is a vegetable fat that is used as an alternative to cocoa butter in food and beverage production. It is typically derived from tropical oils, such as palm kernel oil or coconut oil, and is widely used in the chocolate industry to provide similar properties to cocoa butter at a lower cost. CBS is used to enhance the texture, mouthfeel, and stability of various confectionery products like chocolate bars, truffles, and spreads.
