The truth is, we used to bash cacao powder. Most cacao powder is highly processed and stripped of naturally occurring fats, yet marketed as a superfood. Its usually made from lowest quality cacao beans, and it isnt traceable to the farmer, so you actually cant know the environmental and labour practices.

Then we found this serious upgrade.A direct trade cacao powder from premium beans with 30% naturally occurring fat,which isthree times the fat content of regular cacao powder.This is so important because the fat is essential for delivering the health benefits of cacao.

Cacao Sourcing Standard

This organic cacao powder is direct trade and traceable to 200 individual farmers from a regenerative agroforestry project outside of Cusco, Peru.

Many of the farms and the association are run by indigenous Koribeni and Kiteni women, who put their love and care into the stewardship of this cacao and the Amazon it calls home.

How To Use

Add this fluffy cacao powder in heaps into your smoothies, use for baking in your favourite recipes, heat on the stovetop with non-dairy milk for hot cocoa, etc.

Why This Is Not Ceremonial Grade Cacao

To be clear, cacao powder is not ceremonial grade cacao, even though this has excellent sourcing. The key difference is ceremonial grade cacao is a whole food, without anything added or removed, and minimally processed the whole way through with the intention of being shared as a medicine.

Cacao powder by contrast goes through processing to separate the cacao powder and butter. This cacao powder retains far more natural fat than most cacao powders, with 28-30% fat remaining as opposed to 10-12%. Its basically the most fat you can keep in the cacao and have it be a powder, which makes a major upgrade for delicious baking, smoothies, etc.
