Raw Chocolate is simple and easy to make. Firstly for the chocolate to be “Raw”, (which means it is delicious AND nutritious) then the Cacao ingredients must have been manufactured below 114 Fahrenheit to ensure that their phyto-nutrients have not been destroyed.

Then the Raw Chocolate ingredients must be handled carefully, the Cacao Butter must be melted over a bowl of boiling water away from any heat source. When the butter has liquefied, the dry ingredients can be stirred in.

Firstly add flavourings such as vanilla powder, then Cacao powder, then sweetener such as Agave Syrup.

The chocolate is still runny at this stage so must be poured into moulds before it sets. The moulds can be put in a freezer to set for 20 minutes, then the raw chocolate easily pops out of the mould. For full instruction go to our How to make Raw Chocolate Page.

Manufacture Process

Cacao Butter products are from a fair trade supplier in Peru, from the rich and fertile soils of South America. The Latin name Theobroma Cacao literally means food of the Gods. There is a great history of use of Cacao in South America and the beans were once valued so highly that they were used as currency.
The Cacao beans are harvested, and left to ferment in boxes for a few days, then they are laid on trays and sundried. Next the shells are removed and the nibs are retained, then the nibs are then milled until they turn into Cacao liquor. The mass is then pressed, so that the Cacao butter is excreted and a solid Cacao cake is left. He cake is then ground into powder, and the butter is retained.

Much like coffee, raw cacao acts as a stimulant, which at the least can negatively affect sleep and at worst may agitate kidneys.
