FAQ

Cacao is an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, cholesterol-free saturated fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre, natural carbohydrates, and protein that make it an excellent source of nutrients.
What makes your cacao soooo good?
At harvest, cacao beans are fermented to develop flavor and texture. Our Cacao Powder is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans, this process retains the living enzymes and removes the fat (cacao butter). They are processed at low temperatures and then milled into a powder. The result is a powder that’s bitter in taste and higher in nutritional content.

The short answer is YES! Yes you can. Cacao is packed full of essential vitamins and nutrients that make your body thrive.
Is your Cacao cold-pressed?
Cacao powder is made by cold-pressing the oil (which creates cacao butter) out of cacao nibs and drying what remains into a powder. This process ensure that minerals, aminos and enzymes, all sensitive to heat processing, are preserved.
The difference between Cacao vs Cocoa?
Cacao powder is known to have a higher antioxidant content than cocoa, and cacao is the purest form of chocolate you can consume, which means it is raw and much less processed than cocoa powder or chocolate bars.
