Characteristics
Raw cocoa powder is extracted from unroasted cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao). In Central and South America, cocoa beans have been highly valued for centruries. The Aztecs even used them as a mean of payment and many Mayans feasts and rituals were associated with celebration of cocoa beans as a "food of the gods". In the production process, cocoa beans are gently ground at the low temperature in order to preserve their original nutritional substances and aroma. Arriba cocoa beans , the raw material for extracting our cocoa powder, count among the most precious species grown solely in Ecuador. They are noted for their extraordinary taste with a prevailing tropical fruits flavour with tones of blosooming flowers. The raw cocoa powder is a rich source of antioxidants, iron and magnesium.
