Customer photo review of Organic Cacao Paste

My all time favourite treat - use a double boiler to melt the cacao paste with cacao butter and then add anything from hemp seeds to goji berries and tahini. Set in moulds or inside a pitted date ... ENJOY!

Customer photo review of Organic Cacao Paste

Cacao buttons were a surprise as it was not mentioned on the website or order prior to purchasing. I was concerned about the heat applied to the cacao paste in order to form the buttons. It was most likely much more than just cacao paste extraction processes.

Compliments the sweetness of dates when nut chocolate bars are made

Prefer smaller chunks, but great quality

I love to use the cacao paste to make my breakfast mix, it wouldn't be delicious without it
