Native to the tropical regions of South America the cacao tree has been a very important food source for thousands of years. Its botanical name Theobroma Cacao literally means ‘Food of the Gods’. The medicinal uses of cacao have been dated as far back as the 16th century and range from helping to reduce fatigue to improving mood and heart strength. Our Organic Cacao Powder has a smooth, full-bodied flavour and is considered to be the best tasting of all cacao varieties.
