Raw Balinese Cacao Powder

A Balinese cacao producer recently announced a new process that allows cacao powder and cacao butter to be processed at an all time low temperature of 113 degrees (F). We're excited to add this new lower temperature cacao powder to our store.

Until now, the raw community had standardized on processing temperatures of 120 degrees (F) due to flavor and food safety concerns - dramatically lower than the typical 200+ degrees that most of the world's cacao is processed at.

Balinese cacao powder has an earthier taste and more of the natural bitterness of cacao. The powder is darker due to the higher fat content (20% vs 12% in our raw South American cacao powder).

If you're looking for cacao powder in its least processed state, this is the product for you. If you're looking for a less bitter, chocolate flavor, you might prefer our raw South American cacao powder. Both are amazing!
