Prized Variety: Vivapura offers organic Cacao of the Arriba Nacional (Aroma Defina) variety from Ecuador – the rarest and most prized. It boasts a rich buttery flavor.
Pure Ecosystem: Our Cacao is grown organically on native soils where no chemicals, fertilizers, or herbicides have ever been used.
Really Raw: Vivapura Cacao stands above the rest for many reasons. One is that it is Really Raw. Most cacao (even much that is sold as “raw”) is heated over 118 degrees F in processing or is roasted to bring out the flavor. This devitalizes the nutrients and compromises the healthy fats. We at Vivapura assure that you get only the highest quality, low-temperature produced, raw cacao products. And because of the superior quality, the flavor is phenomenal!
Integrity in Processing: To turn cacao beans into Cacao Powder, raw cacao nibs are cold-pressed, separating the oil, while leaving the active nutrients. The remainder is a dry cacao that is then cold-ground, fine-milled, and sifted, leaving the finished product - the most vibrant, organic Cacao Powder! No chemicals, hexane or solvents are ever used. All the delicate minerals, enzymes and nutrients are in tact!
