About Cacao

What is cacao? 

Unlike traditionally processed cocoa powder, which is heavily processed, raw cacao is the unprocessed version of the cacao bean. Raw cacao has far superior nutritional qualities to cocoa or chocolate, and a delicious and decadent chocolate flavour. Our Organic Raw Peruvian Cacao is organically grown in the Satipio province of the Junín Region, located in the central Amazon rainforest of Peru, as it has been for thousands of years by the native Ashaninka and Chene people.

What are the benefits?

Raw cacao is a potent natural source of antioxidants and contains many essential nutrients for a healthy chocolate hit. Containing high levels of magnesium, antioxidants and the bliss chemicals anandamide and PEA, this is truly a guilt-free pleasure.
