Our organic criollo cacao beans are a unique variety grown in the amazon region of Peru. Criollo cacao beans are known for their higher nutritional content and wonderful taste and aroma. Contrary to industry standards, our cacao is fermented for a shorter period of time in order to preserve its nutrients. Our Raw Criollo Cacao Nibs are a great alternative to cacao beans, as they are de-husked and in a smaller, much easier to consume form factor. They can be consumed as a snack on their own, but can also add a lovely cacao flavour to cereals, snacks, and other preparations.
Our new Cacao Powder is a blend from 51% Peruvian Criollo Cacao and 49% Cacao from non-peruvian Beans. It provides a wonderful aromatic and as nutritious alternative and also complies to the new EU-regulation for cadmium values! Almost as high in nutrients as our Peruvian Cacao Powder, aromatic taste, give it a try, give us a call!
Contrary to industry standards, our cacao is fermented for a shorter period of time in order to preserve its nutrients, using banana to boost the natural flavour and aroma, and we have a longer drying period that ensure the increased stability of the beans. Criollo Cacao is full of nutrients such as magnesium, manganese, zinc and many more. Cacao mass, or Liquor, is a vital ingredient in the preparation of all kinds of chocolates around the world. What better ingredient to prepare chocolate than a Raw Criollo Cacao Liquor that not only contains a higher content of the natural nutrients found in cacao, but also brings flavour and aroma like no other.
