Organic Cacao (Cocoa) Powder

Our organic cacao powder, grown in Peru, is made from the Criollo variety of cacao bean.

After roasting and shelling, the cacao beans are ground to make cacao liquor/paste, this liquor hardens to into an unsweetened, chocolate-like consistency when it cools to room temperature.

Ingredients: 100% Cacao powder
Country of Origin: Peru
Botanical Name: Theobroma cacao

Pressure and heat is then applied to the cocoa liquid to separate the ‘butter’ from the ‘cake’, leaving a solid yellow cacao butter and the soft, powdered cacao powder (the cake). Organic cacao powder is commonly used in food preparation, especially in cakes, desserts and hot chocolate, and in its natural form has a bitter, unsweetened taste.
