All you need to know about Cacao Beans

Taste and texture

Our cocoa comes from organic farming. You can find cocoa in bean, grain or powder form. The beans keep all the nutritional properties of Cacao intact by drying at low temperatures. Cacao beans are cleaned and sorted according to size. Cacao flavor profiles can be countless and must be intense and persistent. To the touch (by touch we mean the tactile sensations perceived by our tongue when in contact with cocoa) we must recognize the fineness and roundness of cocoa, while astringency, that is, the sensation of decreased salivation, must be almost absent.

How to take Cacao?

Organic cocoa beans are considered the a good way to incorporate this valuable food into one's diet. Cacao beans can be taken as a convenient snack or within smoothies or cake preparation. They can also be used to make cocoa bean granules or cocoa powder depending on how they are ground.

Is cocoa the same as chocolate?

Not exactly. Cocoa refers to the pure, minimally processed form of the cacao bean, without added sugars or fats. Chocolate usually includes cocoa along with sugar, milk, and other ingredients, making it less concentrated in nutrients.

What’s the difference between cocoa beans, nibs, and powder?

Cocoa beans are whole, dried seeds. When they’re crushed, they become nibs, small, crunchy pieces rich in nutrients. Cocoa powder is made by grinding the beans or nibs and removing most of the fat (cocoa butter), resulting in a fine powder ideal for recipes.
