Our cacao comes from small family farms that are part of a workers co-operative in Peru.

Grown to organic standards, using traditional agroforestry methods that support biodiversity.

Helping ensure fair income, sustainable farming, and community support.

Yes. All our cacao is tested and meets the requirements for UK/EU legislation.

Cadmium occurs naturally in soil and is present in trace amounts in most cacao worldwide. Research from WHO and FAO has found that cocoa products are actually a minor source of dietary cadmium compared to staple foods like grains, potatoes and vegetables.

All our cacao and other ingredients are actually certified organic at the point we buy them, but as we've not been through the costly certification process, we're unable to actively promote it as such. We typically use the "agrochemical free" wording, though sometimes do say grown to organic standards.

Most cocoa powder is alkalized, treated with chemicals to neutralize its natural acidity. This makes it darker and milder, but strips out a lot of what makes cacao worth eating in the first place. Our cacao powder isn't alkalized and is 100% pure.

It's minimally processed under low temperatures, so it retains its natural flavour and nutritional profile.

Absolutely. Raw cacao butter and powder are two key ingredients you need to make raw chocolate at home. Add a natural sweetener such as our Sweet Freedom natural syrup, pour into moulds, and refrigerate. It's simpler than you'd think.
