We source the best organically-grown cacao beans from the tropical fringe areas of the Andes Mountains and the Amazonian basin, working with Peruvian farming communities who cultivate them in a sustainable, ecological manner. Our raw cacao powder is obtained by pressing the cacao liquor out of sundried cacao beans to extract cacao butter. This leaves a kind of "cacao cake" that is then grounded into a fine raw cacao powder.
