cocoa butter isn't "manteca de cacao" is it?

Question

Isn't manteca somthing else? Could you say "crema de cacao"?

Answer 1

Yes it is manteca de cacao

Answer 2

Cocoa butter is manteca de cacao, at least in Spain.

Pasta de cacao is cocoa paste.

Manteca means milk butter in many Spanish speaking countries; they have to especify whether it´s milk butter or lard. In Spain, manteca means lard.

Crema de cacao is the final result of mixing cacao or chocolate with other products: nuts, cream, etc. Example: nutella, a dessert, a liquor...

In Spain we also use chocolate negro, while in some countries of Latin America they use chocolate oscuro.
