Product Description
Organic Cocoa Powder 150g (Criollo)
Premium quality cocoa powder - Criollo variety, also known as the king of cocoas.
The Latin name for cocoa - theobroma cacao means 'food of the gods'. The cocoa bean is the basis of all cocoa and chocolate products.
Our raw cocoa powder is of the Criollo variety, which was also cultivated by the Mayans. This is the rarest, finest, and most expensive cocoa variety, often referred to as the king of cocoas, accounting for 10-15% of all cocoa production. Raw cocoa powder made from cocoa beans has an exceptionally high antioxidant content, which, through its natural cell-protecting effect, helps to slow down the aging process. Its significant magnesium content is essential for proper nerve and muscle function. It is also known for its mood-enhancing and energizing effects.
In the 21st century, raw cacao is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to the gentle processing of cocoa beans that helps preserve its nutritional content and beneficial effects. After harvesting, cocoa beans are fermented in a wooden box on banana leaves for a few days. During fermentation, chemical changes occur that reduce the bitterness of the cocoa bean and allow a richer chocolate flavor to emerge. This is followed by a gentle drying process, which gives it its brown color and final flavor.
