Organic Criollo Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder comes from the cocoa bean, the fruit of the cocoa tree. The cacao tree grows in countries around the equator and produces cacao beans from which, among other things, chocolate is made. To make cocoa powder, cocoa mass from the cocoa bean is used. The mass is pressed under high pressure to produce cocoa powder.
Criollo Beans
Cocoa beans contain more antioxidants than red wine and 3 times more than green tea; cocoa beans are a rich source of minerals. The pods are hand-harvested and selected for the best quality. Our cocoa is also fermented to reduce their initial bitterness. The manufacturing process preserves a significant part of the nutritional value of the beans, without any additives.
