Its 100% Belizean Maya-led team processes all cacao at a post-harvest facility where three unique stages of sun drying create optimal flavor.
The beans received in Mallorca are always very clean and offer consistent, well-balanced flavor notes of tropical fruits (pineapple, raisin) and spices.

Every person is different and we suggest that you taste, connect and feel where this cacao works in your own body.

Conservation
Pure cacao is sensitive to change of temperature. Please keep it in a cool place. If your cocoa has melted, whitish spots may appear. It is the cocoa butter, naturally present inside the cocoa beans, that has melted. Your cocoa is still safe to eat.
Contraindications
Theobroma Cacao is a plant medicine and a superfood. Some contraindications for the use of pure cacao
- If you are pregnant or breastfeed, it is safe to drink cacao but adapt the dosage with a low dose ( < 20 grams per cup) because the theobromine will stimulate your baby.
- If you have heart problems, drinking cacao will stimulate the blood flow and increase your heart rate. Take only a few sips.
- If you are on high doses of antidepressants or using MAOI based and SSRI antidepressants be cautious. The tyramine and tryptophan present in cacao can counteract the medicine. Ask your doctor.
- Cacao is fatal to pets. Keep it away from them
