Arriba Criollo Cacao Powder

Our cacao powder is sourced from heirloom Arriba Criollo cacao beans. This cacao is grown at high elevations in volcanic-rich soil in Ecuador and watered with only rain or deep-mountain spring water. Cacao pods are hand-picked and undergo much of their process in situ - this includes the vital flavour development process of fermentation and the further sun-drying of the beans. This cacao powder is undutched and unroasted, preserving the full nutrient profile of this ‘food of the gods’ - the literal translation of cacao’s Latin name.
