Organic Ceremonial Grade Cacao - 100% Raw Criollo Variety from Farmers and Ashaninka & Nomatsigenga Tribes in Peru, 1000g - 1kg

So take chocolate, minus all the parts that are bad for your health, and you get this! Just the good part. I've tried many others, and they range from ok to bitter tasting rubbish, THIS cacao is the best tasting. You can make a hot drink, but I prefer to eat a piece straight from the bag, easy! This might take some getting used to, but once you develop a taste for it, its quite delicious. As a bonus it can replace chocolate in your diet, and I've naturally lost some weight as a result. It costs more than the others, but its worth it, its that much better. I eat a piece a day roughly and it lasts over 3 months, so the cost per day for all the health benefits is actually quite low. According to Gemini - Nutritional Powerhouse Raw cacao is celebrated for several key health properties:Rich in Antioxidants: It contains up to 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries. Cacao is packed with flavonoids, which help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation. High in Magnesium: Cacao is one of the highest natural plant-based sources of magnesium, a mineral vital for energy production, muscle function, and brain clarity.Mood Boosters: It contains "bliss molecules"—such as anandamide and phenylethylamine—which trigger neurotransmitters associated with feelings of well-being and happiness. Essential Minerals: It provides more calcium than cow's milk and is a great source of potassium, zinc, and non-heme iron. Cacao vs. Cocoa While they come from the same plant (Theobroma cacao), the difference lies in processing:Cacao is minimally processed or unroasted, retaining almost all of its raw vitamins, minerals, and bitter, earthy flavor.Cocoa is roasted at high temperatures and often Dutch-processed (washed with an alkaline solution). This deepens the flavor and makes it sweeter, but strips away a significant portion of the beneficial antioxidants and flavonoids.

I have bought this product before so I knew what I was buying but the product is excellent. About the same price as other ceremonial cacaos which is expensive but this one is organic while the others are not. Good taste and mixes well with milk for a great hot drink . Delivery time was exceptional though with it turning up the very next day.

I was recommended this stuff and it took me a while to find a product that didn't cost the earth and had the right credentials. This is amazing, fair price and tastes lovely. Gives you a bit of a lift and just drinking it makes you feel good. I have a little Monk Fruit for sweetness and a drop of cream in mine.

I have tried every version of Cacao. I like to mix it with blueberries and Greek yogurt. However, the chunks were quite big and also quite solid, so they didn’t smash very easily. But, it’s a quality product and I would definitely purchase again.

Initially I took this because it was rich in flavonoids, but I quickly became addicted to the feeling of well-being it gave me, until my daily hot chocolate became eating a small chunk with breakfast too. And then I added a chunk at night also. Then I developed a persistent headache but it wasn't until I was driving home one evening following sheep that were walking in the middle of the road, that I realised something peculiar was going on, especially as a jaguar (cat not car) had jumped out at me as well. Of course, there had not been any sheep in the road, nor had there been a jaguar. Something was playing with my mind. I stopped the cacao and my headaches, the sheep and the jaguar, disappeared. Yes, the cacao tasted lovely, but I have not dared to have it since.

This cacao I have been buying for a few years now. It tastes so much better than every other raw cacao I've tried. It really is a lovely rich flavour. Whenever I try another brand I always end up with coming back to this one.

I purchased this when the brand I had been using was out of stock. WOW! This is superior quality cacao. I don't need to use anywhere near the amount I had to with other brands. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

Incredibly good quality, very tasty. The texture, taste and smell are divine. This is my go to when I need a good quality warm cup of cacao, it's so comforting, boosts my mood, gives me a little energy if it, or helps me relax & get a better night sleep if I have in the evening. Exactly what you want from an adaptogen. Great size, I think you get a good amount for the price & am a repeat customer. Wouldn't want to buy from any other company.
