Using an innovative process, this cacao powder boasts a minimum of 28% fat content, significantly higher than the usual 10-13%. Made predominantly from Chuncho cacao, an ancient varietal used by the Incan and Pre-Incan civilizations, this cacao powder offers a superior taste and nutritional profile.

Overview Our organic cacao powder is crafted from cacao beans sourced from various regions in Peru, including San Martin and the Cuzco region. Chuncho cacao, native to the highlands of the Cuzco Andes, is renowned for its purity, complex phytochemical profile, and rich flavor. This cacao powder is fermented, gently heated, dried, milled, and then hydraulically pressed to separate the fat content, resulting in a product that is both rich in flavor and nutrients.
