Why it's great quality

We use the King of Cacao - organic raw Criollo cacao beans - in our cacao nibs, guaranteeing at least 75% content of this is rare, very high-quality aromatic bean, used by luxury chocolate brands like Valrhona, and artisan chocolate brands like Duffy’s and Forever Cacao. It’s considered a delicacy and prized for its superior flavour – the result of the bean’s higher fat content.

All our cacao is 100% raw, pure cacao. Nothing added, nothing taken away. No additives or preservatives. No nasties. 

It doesn't just taste good, as you probably know cacao does good too. These organic raw cacao nibs are a high functioning superfood; packed full of nutrients and antioxidants. And we make sure it stays that way; all our cacao products are raw, retaining far more nutrients and goodness than beans that have been roasted, or alkalised using the Dutch process.

WHAT IT’S FOR 

Tasting similar to dark chocolate, cacao nibs are satisfyingly crunchy, making them perfect for baking. With their strong aroma and intense flavour, our organic cacao nibs are the perfect topping on porridge, granola, ice cream and smoothies. 

If you have health conscious customers, these cacao nibs are a great substitute for chocolate chips or mix with a handful of Goji Berries in your next batch of protein bars for a superfood triumph. 

Contraindications: None.

WHERE IT'S FROM

Our Criollo cacao beans are grown in the Peruvian Amazon, the spiritual home of cacao. 

Enjoyed by locals long before they shared its secrets with the outside world, cacao and Peru have an intertwined history. Almost all of Peru’s cacao is grown by small holders who rely on it as their main source of income year-round. Most of the harvesting takes place between April and September and is called "la cosecha grande", which literally means "the big harvest" in Spanish. Their crop is sold to cooperatives who act as intermediaries. It's then processed in Peru before being trucked to Lima and exported to the UK.

Environmental impact 

Peruvian cacao is grown sustainably amongst trees or shrubs, using the Agroforestry land management system. This method has much less environmental impact than the fertiliser-heavy plantations that are common in West Africa and which cause so much deforestation.
