Rawganiq Organic Raw Cacao Butter (300g)

Country Produced : Peru

Raw cacao butter is the monounsaturated fat that is extracted from the

fermented cacao beans. Cacao butter is less processed than chocolate and is never

heated above 46 degrees celsius during production, which further retains all its super

health qualities. The butter has a rich, delicate and creamy taste.

The RAWGANIQ™ Difference

Our Organic raw cacao butter has been produced from the delicious Criollo

variety of cacao pods, harvested in the pristine Mantaro Valley of Peru. The fat is

carefully separated from the solids through a cold extraction process before

being moulded and cooled.

•  No solvents or chemicals
•  We directly import from our “on-farm” agricultural partners, and thus can ensure proper and minimal processing and handling, for highest quality
•  Imported under legally registered FDA licence (view certificate)
•  Packed and processed in FDA-approved facility (view certificate)
•  Lab analysis to ensure your safety (Click “lab analysis” tab to learn more)

The fruit of the cacao tree are called pods and are differing hues of yellow and

orange when ripe. A typical pod releases 20-50 beans. These beans possess a

type of slimy covering which is left covered to ferment for a few days. The

fermentation allows some of the bitterness to be removed from the inner bean.

Once fermented, the beans are dried and then chipped into nibs and then gently

processed to separate the fat from the solids.

Health Benefits

Cacao is a hugely beneficial ingredient for human health, due to the significant

levels of polyphenols and flavanols (antioxidants) contained within its natural

form. Raw cacao butter is an excellent source of monounsaturated fats,

cholesterol-free saturated fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, natural carbohydrates,

and protein that make it an excellent source of nutrients.
