CACAO POWDER - Peruvian True Criollo

Sale price$16.00

Our True Criollo Raw Cacao Powder from Peru is crafted from one of the world’s most prized and sought-after cacao varieties, True Criollo—celebrated for its exceptional flavour, delicate complexity, and remarkable rarity. 

Carefully processed to preserve the character and nutrition of the cacao bean, this raw cacao powder delivers a rich yet nuanced experience with notes of deep chocolate, warm spice, subtle fruit, and natural sweetness. Less bitter than many commercial cacao powders, Criollo cacao is treasured for its smooth, refined profile and aromatic complexity.

Naturally rich in magnesium, plant compounds, and theobromine, raw cacao has long been valued not only as nourishment, but as a mood elevator, enjoyed during moments of reflection, creativity, work, and celebration.

The naturally occurring theobromine found in cacao provides a gentler, more gradual sense of energy than coffee, while cacao’s rich nutritional profile continues to attract scientific interest for its role in supporting overall wellness and healthy daily routines.
