Drinking CACAO

Cacao and drinking Chocolate

---

Our cocoa powder is ideal for cooking, and preparing hot or cold beverages. Made from a blend of cocoa beans, it is rich in taste and aroma, would add certain luxury to every recipe. The raw Arriba Nacional beans we offer in this category are well fermented under the careful supervision of some of the great cocoa expert in Ecuador and packaged without any treatment to deliver an unaltered, unique experience. They preserve all positive benefits cocoa has to offer and can be enjoyed raw or after slight roasting.

The inspiration for our “Drinking Chocolate” recipe came from an over 400 years old tradition. In the early XVI-th century, the chocolate in a form of a beverage arrived to European shores with the Spanish ships returning from America. Initially, it was reserved only for the royal courts, but soon enough chocolate houses began to emerge in large cities. Today, we offer you our interpretation of this old recipe, keeping the core ingredients intact – well-fermented cocoa beans and raw cane sugar.
