PURE | ORGANIC | CACAO Known in ancient times as “food of the gods”, cacao is a nutrient-dense superfood, rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It packs a punch with mood enhancing, energy boosting and health-giving properties. WE'RE ALL ABOUT THE BEAN Our cacao products are produced using single-source, fairly-traded, organic certified cacao beans from Dominican Republic. The beans have notes of peanuts and honey. COFFEE ALTERNATIVE Cacao is a fab coffee alternative thanks to the alkaloid, Theobromine, which is a natural stimulant similar to caffeine. Theobromine affects the cardiovascular system, whereas caffeine affects the nervous system, hence why many people get the jitters from drinking coffee. UNTEMPERED Untempered means a white 'bloom' pattern will be on the cacao. Tempering cacao means raising and lower the temperature so that the crystal formulation inside the chocolate is altered. We don't do this for the 100% cacao block, as it doesn't need it. When it's untempered it melts quicker - so it's perfect for hot cacao and baking. Free from dairy, soya, emulsifiers and preservatives. Certified Organic | Vegan | 100% Natural | Bean to Bar **Great Taste Awards Gold Star 2022**
