South American Heirloom Cacao is used in every Cacoco drinking chocolate for a perfect balance of fruity, floral and nutty notes. All cacao is certified organic from biodynamic farms that support lush ecological diversity, and all farming partners are paid fair trade wages or above. 60% Rich Dark has a deep, concentrated flavor with barely there hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. As with all drinking chocolates, its consistency is velvety and smooth, much thicker and more luscious than typical powdered hot cocoa. This version also contains lucuma, a fruit from South America, which gives the drink a natural, subtle sweetness.
The crop spread to the Mayans and Aztecs, which revered the beverage enough to use it in ritual ceremonies. Traditional drinking chocolate requires two main ingredients: chocolate shavings and a little warm milk (or dairy substitute) which leads to a dense and rich beverage. It’s nothing like the packets of powdered chocolate, milk and sugar that we are used to in the U.S. today.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Whisk 3 tablespoons chocolate into 1/4 cup boiling water or milk. It’s important to whisk or blend to get a smooth drinking chocolate, instead of stirring. You can also use less milk or water to get a thick rich, low-sugar sauce perfect for topping desserts.
Cacoco aims to make sustainably sourced and health-conscious chocolate. All of its cacao is sourced from South America, which was selected for a complex balance of fruity, floral and nutty notes.
