Organic Cacao Powder 500g (Sussex Wholefoods)

Cacao Powder

Our Criollo cacao is sustainably grown in the Peruvian Amazon, the birthplace of cacao. Smallholder farmers use traditional agroforestry methods, protecting the rainforest and relying on the weekly harvest (April-September) for their livelihoods. Beans are processed locally before export.

• 100% pure cacao, nothing added, nothing taken away. No additives or preservatives.

We believe in preserving the natural goodness of cacao. That's why our powder is unroasted and not alkalised (Dutched), avoiding the harsh processing that can diminish the bean's inherent nutrients and flavour profile.

This careful approach results in a cacao powder that's bursting with natural vitality and rich, deep chocolate notes. The 10-12% fat content strikes the perfect balance, making it incredibly versatile for baking rich desserts or crafting delicious, comforting hot chocolate.
