OX NATURE ORGANIC PREMIUM RAW CRIOLLO CACAO POWDER | GREAT TASTE AWARDS 2018
The cacao tree is a small perennial plant called “Theobroma cacao”, which grows in tropical climates, mainly in South America. The fruit was highly prized among the Mayan and Aztec peoples and was brought to Europe by the Spanish. These pre-Columbian peoples used cocoa to produce a drink that was a great source of energy.
Our raw cocoa beans come from the Criollo variety, which is often called the Queen of Cocoa due to the high quality of its beans. Cocoa fruit pods are grown organically in Peru, where they are harvested by hand. The cocoa is then selected and fermented to reduce its bitter taste. The cocoa beans are then washed in natural water, peeled, dehulled and broken down to make cocoa paste. The fat in this paste is extracted from the solid part and the solid part is dehydrated and turned into cocoa powder. Cocoa powder contains less fat and more fiber than beans. The production process preserves a significant proportion of the nutritional value of the grains and is free of any additives.
Our cocoa is produced from selected fruits of the criollo variety, which accounts for less than 10% of the world’s cocoa production and is renowned for its high quality and distinctive flavour. Our cocoa is processed at low temperatures (<40º) and cold-pressed, thus obtaining a pure, non-alkalinized cocoa powder rich in nutrients.
