This truly raw certified organic cocoa powder is made by cold-pressing the highest quality organic raw cacao beans into a cake, which separates the oil from the protein and fiber, making a dark brown paste called chocolate liquor. The temperature is never allowed to exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit but usually only reaches 104 degrees.
Next, the fat is slowly separated into cacao butter and what remains is a cake. This cake or cocoa solid id then cold-milled to become a truly raw organic unsweetened cocoa powder. The powder allows for maximum digestion of the potent antioxidants that it provides
