Fresh Cacao (Chocolate)
Cacao, is scientifically known as Theobroma Cacao. It is native to the tropical regions of South America. The Cacao we source is from Ecuador, specifically because of its fleshy and flavorful pulp. The cacao pod contains many beans that are surrounded by a delicious white pulp. It is used to make juices and jellies. The seed is fermented and ground as the main ingredient in chocolate.
