Cocoa paste is perfect for vegan desserts, sweet pastries, homemade chocolate or the most delicious hot cocoa and chocolate.
Cocoa paste is made from cocoa beans, which contain more than 300 active ingredients, including phenyl, ethylamine and serotonin. Native to the tropical climates of South America, the Theobroma cocoa tree is considered sacred by Mayan and Aztec tribes. Cocoa beans are a great “superfood” as they are rich in a variety of antioxidants and other nutrients. Organic Peruvian cocoa beans contain 3 times more antioxidants than green tea. Cocoa beans are a rich source of minerals. The highest quality green beans, hand-sorted from the most beautiful, are selected and fermented to reduce their natural bitterness.
