The beans come from Peru's Huallaga Valley and are cold-ground without roasting or alkalization. Choose a 1 lb bag for your home pantry or a 5 lb bulk bag for frequent baking and café preparation. Blend it into banana smoothies, fold it into chocolate frosting or whisk it into warm plant milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cacao powder bag size should I choose?

Choose the 1 lb resealable pouch for home use or the 5 lb bulk bag for frequent baking and café preparation. Both sizes contain the same single-origin Criollo cacao powder.

Is this cacao powder Dutch-processed?

No. This cacao powder is cold-ground and unroasted without alkalization, giving it a brighter flavor than Dutch-processed cocoa.

How can I prepare a warm cacao drink?

Whisk 2–3 tablespoons of cacao powder into 8 oz of warm water or plant milk. Heat the liquid to just below a simmer, then add a pinch of salt and sweeten or spice to taste.

Can I add this cacao powder to a smoothie?

Yes. Start with one heaping tablespoon of cacao powder in a 12 oz smoothie. Banana, dates, almond butter and plant milk pair well with its chocolate flavor.
