Drinking Cocoa | Healthy Hot Chocolate

Description

Introducing our Healthy Drinking Cocoa — a smooth, rich, alkalised cocoa powder perfect for daily healthy hot chocolate, smoothies, baking, and nourishing rituals.

This blend delivers a deep chocolate flavour with warm notes of caramel, whole milk and almond — the nostalgic taste of childhood chocolate cake.

Our cocoa is sourced through the Callebaut Cocoa Horizons Program, supporting sustainable, ethical, and traceable farming practices that uplift West African cacao-growing communities. While it is not certified organic, it is responsibly grown and delivers exceptional aroma, quality, and flavour.

This high-fat, full-bodied cocoa is slightly alkalised, giving it a smoother flavour and a softer bitterness compared to raw cacao. It dissolves beautifully in hot water or plant milk, making it ideal for both healthy hot chocolate and premium baking.

FAQ

What is the difference between cacao and cocoa?

Both terms refer to products made from the cacao bean, but the difference lies in processing:

• Cacao usually refers to less-processed, raw or minimally heated versions, retaining more nutrients like magnesium and antioxidants.

• Cocoa (like this one) is often roasted at a higher temperature, which gives it a richer flavor but slightly reduces the nutritional profile.

This cocoa is made by pressing cacao nibs to extract the cacao butter, and then grinding the remaining solids into a fine powder. The result is a beautifully rich cocoa powder that’s perfect as a healthy hot chocolate and for everyday use.

What does “ceremonial-grade cacao” mean?

Ceremonial cacao is intentionally prepared to preserve the full fat (butter) and energetic properties of the bean. It is used in ritual, meditation, and emotional healing work.

What does “sustainably sourced cacao” mean?

Sustainability goes beyond the soil – it’s about supporting farmers, their communities, and the planet.

This healthy hot chocolate is part of the Callebaut Cacao Horizons program, which supports cacao farmers with training, tools, and fair compensation while promoting environmentally responsible farming.

This ensures that each pouch of cacao supports a regenerative supply chain that uplifts communities and honors the earth.
