Organic Peruvian cocoa mass has a fresh, fruity (acidic) flavor. Cocoa is grown in the Marañón Canyon in Peru. The high hills of the Marañón Valley create a unique microclimate for cocoa trees. Adequate humidity and highly nutritious soil are the main factors that greatly influence the taste and quality of cocoa beans.
Cocoa mass for your daily rituals
Cocoa - to improve productivity, energy, and focus. 100% cocoa contains magnesium and theobromine, which provide a relaxing effect during meditations, help you concentrate, and stay alert throughout the day. You can use cocoa mass as a drink, flavor pastries, or make artisanal chocolate. Cocoa is a superfood for those seeking a more natural and healthy lifestyle.
Where it's grown
The cocoa plantations are located in the Marañón Canyon, where high-quality cocoa has been grown for centuries. In this remote, ravine-shaped location surrounded by hills, a unique microclimate is created, where the trees thrive at altitudes between 1,000-1,250 meters.
To maintain natural biodiversity, cocoa is grown using agroforestry systems. Alongside cocoa, avocado, guava, and banana trees are cultivated on the farms.
Variety
Criollo - one of the rarest cocoa varieties in the world (only 5 percent compared to other cocoa varieties). It is known for its strong aroma.
