Concerning the Cacao…
Raaka’s 100% Cacao is made from two simple ingredients: organic, unroasted cacao beans and organic cacao butter.
Why unroasted?. Unroasted chocolate has a brighter, fruitier flavor than roasted varieties. Plus, Raaka only buys from single-origin sources, and leaving the beans unroasted allows the unique terroir of each location to shine through in the finished chocolate. Raaka’s 100% Cacao comes from Kokoa Kamili in Tanzania. This cacao operation is committed to both supporting their local Tanzanian farming community and improving the quality and reputation of the beans that come from their region.
To this end, Kokoa Kamili buys raw beans at above-market prices directly from local farmers. They then ferment and dry the beans on-site, providing a consistent, high-quality bean. After drying, the beans are shipped to Raaka’s Brooklyn factory, where they’re turned into small batches of chocolate bars for your enjoyment. With their commitment to both ethically sourced beans and light, vegan chocolate, Raaka’s 100% Cacao is a bar you can feel good about.
