FAQ

Useful Information

What is Cocoa ?

Cocoa is what Linnaeus called Theobroma , from Theos meaning “god” and broma “food”, or food of the gods . The richness of this plant is certainly mainly contained in the beans contained in its fruit (cabosse). The beans can be eaten raw, or they can be reduced to granules or powder depending on the type of consumption.

The Cocoa Plant

The wild cocoa plant is very diverse . Throughout its history it has given rise to a huge variety of within its species, due to numerous mutations. The plant develops in height and reaches 2 meters, then the branches extend to form a roof, until reaching 3 meters. The cocoa plant produces fruit continuously , but in general each plant gives two harvests, one before and one after the rainy season. From the flower to the ripening of the pod , which is the fruit, it takes about 6 months. The life of a plant is about 25 years and it is not a plant suitable for intensive cultivation.

Where Cocoa is Grown

Cacao is a tropical tree whose natural habitat is in the lower layer of the rainforest . All species of cocoa need regions where the temperature and humidity are high, rainfall is heavy and shade is dense. The plant grows only below 1000 m altitude, on slightly acidic and humid, but well-drained soils. It therefore finds its favorable habitat in tropical forests , where it finds a constant climate all year round, with abundant rainfall well distributed throughout the year.

History of Cocoa

The first evidence of a rudimentary production of chocolate dates back to 1800 BC in the areas of Central America in today's Mexico. The history of the Maya is also closely linked to cocoa, they were probably the first to cultivate the plants. Cocoa was also very important from an economic point of view, with the development of the Toltec and Aztec civilizations, cocoa beans were also used as currency. The first to know about it was Christopher Columbus in 1502, when the Aztec leader offered hospitality and cocoa beans, the country's currency, to the whites who came from far away. It later arrived in Europe and is still appreciated throughout the world. Today cocoa beans are a commodity , therefore a primary product that constitutes a fundamental object of international exchange, with a unique global value.

Taste and texture

Our cocoa comes from organic farming . You can find cocoa in the form of beans, nibs or powder. The cocoa nib keeps all the nutritional properties of cocoa intact thanks to drying at low temperatures. The cocoa beans are cleaned and divided according to size, shelled (removed from the film that surrounds them) and then crushed. The aromatic profiles of cocoa can be countless and must be intense and persistent. By touch (by touch we mean the tactile sensations perceived by our tongue in contact with cocoa) we must recognize the fineness and roundness of cocoa, while astringency or the sensation of decreased salivation must be almost absent.

Experience the Richness of Peru

I Roh Kakao Nibs Bio sono per me un prodotto di spicco nel campo degli alimenti biologici. È un prodotto che mantiene davvero la sua promessa di qualità, sapore e valore nutrizionale. Questi cacao crudi biologici derivano dalla pianta Theobroma cacao, coltivata nei terreni fertili e rigogliosi del Perù. Il risultato è un prodotto che testimonia la ricca biodiversità della sua origine, offrendo un sapore tanto unico quanto delizioso. La purezza del prodotto è evidente fin dall'apertura della confezione. L'odore è divino: un aroma ricco e terroso che riempie l'aria e trasporta immediatamente nei paesaggi peruviani dove crescono queste piante di cacao. Ogni pennino è un'esplosione di sapore croccante, una miscela perfetta di leggera amarezza e dolcezza di fondo che lo distingue dai prodotti di cioccolato troppo elaborati a cui siamo spesso sottoposti. I Roh Kakao Nibs Bio non si limitano al gusto, ma anche al valore nutrizionale. Questi nibs sono un'ottima fonte di magnesio, potassio e ferro. Essendo una persona molto attenta alla salute e al benessere, apprezzo il modo semplice e naturale in cui questi nutrienti essenziali possono essere aggiunti alla mia dieta. Cosparsi in un frullato mattutino, mescolati in una barretta di muesli fatta in casa o semplicemente gustati come spuntino, questi cacao nibs offrono un complemento gustoso e salutare a qualsiasi pasto. La confezione del sacchetto da 1 kg è pratica e robusta, per garantire che il prodotto rimanga fresco a lungo. Apprezzo anche il chiaro impegno per la sostenibilità, che si evince dai metodi di agricoltura biologica utilizzati per la coltivazione delle piante di cacao e dall'imballaggio ecologico. In termini di valore, Roh Kakao Nibs Bio rappresenta un affare eccezionale. Considerando l'alta qualità dei cacao grezzi biologici e la generosa quantità di 1 kg, ritengo che il rapporto qualità-prezzo sia eccellente. Nel complesso, Roh Kakao Nibs Bio 1Kg è un prodotto eccezionale che consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che cercano un'aggiunta di alta qualità, nutriente e gustosa alla loro dieta. Non si tratta solo di un prodotto, ma di una deliziosa esperienza che porta la ricchezza e la purezza del cacao peruviano direttamente nella vostra cucina.
