Description
Originally from Mexico, Cocoa has conquered the world. Once considered a product of extreme nobility, it was used in the sacred rituals of the Olmec, Maya and Aztec peoples. It is mainly consumed today in a form that we all know: chocolate. However, in the Mayan culture, cocoa is eaten alone, or mixed with other spices such as cinnamon, pepper.
It is this raw, intact cocoa that we invite you to discover with this whole roasted organic cocoa bean from Peru. The roasted cocoa bean has a raw , intense , bitter taste , with notes of red fruits .
