PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Add depth, definition, and dramatic contrast to chocolate creations with Roxy & Rich Pirate Black Cocoa Butter (8 oz). Part of the Artist Collection, this saturated black shade creates a smooth matte finish with strong visual presence. It is a versatile choice for modern bonbons, geometric patterns, elegant monochromatic collections, Halloween designs, celestial themes, and chocolates requiring crisp outlines or dark decorative accents.

Pirate Black can be airbrushed into polycarbonate molds for broad, even coverage or applied selectively with a brush for lines, shadows, and detailed motifs. It also works beautifully for splatter effects and direct decoration on finished molded chocolate. Use it as a grounding color beneath brighter shades, incorporate it into high-contrast patterns, or pair it with metallic colors to make gold, silver, and copper accents appear especially luminous. Its neutral character coordinates effortlessly with vivid brights, soft pastels, and sophisticated jewel tones.

For reliable results, warm the cocoa butter gradually in short increments to approximately 95°F (35°C), shake thoroughly, and retemper when necessary. Made in Canada, the edible formula is vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and lactose-free. Available in 2 oz and 8 oz sizes, Pirate Black provides a practical option for both precise detailing and larger production runs.

Available in a variety of attractive, pre-tempered colors with a beautiful matte finish.
