Organic Cacao Ritual Single Origin Madagascar

Product description

The Cacao Ritual by Nature Heart is pure organic cacao mass in grated form, 250 g per pack. The beans come from the Sambirano Valley in north-western Madagascar, around the town of Ambanja, from certified organic farming.

Origin and varieties

The fine cacao varieties Criollo and Trinitario are grown in an agroforestry system. The beans are fermented on site and dried in the sun. As all beans come from one single region, this is a single origin. The Sambirano Valley is known for a fruity, lemony aroma with fine acidity and nutty, floral notes.

Processing

The beans are only ground. The natural cocoa butter is fully retained and makes the drink creamy. No sugar is added; the cacao mass naturally contains little sugar.

Preparation

For a creamy cacao drink the manufacturer recommends 15 to 20 g of grated cacao for about 200 ml of milk or plant drink. Warm the milk without boiling it, add the gratings and mix well. Use 25 to 30 g for a stronger ceremonial style and 10 to 15 g for a lighter drink. For the classic cacao ritual, the cacao mass is stirred into water.

Quality

According to the manufacturer, the cacao mass is regularly tested by independent accredited laboratories in Germany for heavy metals, pesticides, moulds and mycotoxins.
