Cacao Powder Facts

  • Raw cacao is commonly used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.
  • It’s created by cold-pressing our cacao beans into a cake separating the oil from the protein and fibre. Slowly, the pure, liquid cacao butter begins to sift off down a stainless steel valve.
  • The remaining dry ‘cake-like’ material is then cold-ground, fine-milled and sifted so that only the finest, most bio-available raw cacao particles filter through into the finished product.
