“We do not temper our Cacao, a process that alternately heats and cools the chocolate to ‘crystallize’ it and prevent cacao butter separation. After packaging, the cacao butter begins to separate in the blocks, first forming swirls or white rings (looks like it might be mold – it isn’t!) and eventually turning the entire block dusty grey and crumbly. This is completely normal. The changing texture does not affect the ceremonial quality or the flavor of the Cacao.”
- Keith Wilson, Founder of Keith's Cacao and human catalyst for the Contemporary Ceremonial Cacao Movement
I love it when a bar of @keithscacao has bloom! It crumbles and mixes so easily and shows what a natural high vibrational cacao it is.
The beautiful unique bloom on this block of @keithscacao from @shesmedicine Each block is as unique as the person that consumes it. My Sunday self care has included yoga and cacao, a gift to myself.
The bloom is bloomin’ marvellous! Evidence of the minimal processing the cacao goes through at @keithscacao. All that delish cacao butter is still in there and a small bonus is how easy it makes it to chop and prepare a cuppa.
Cacao is one of the most complex, nutritionally dense, and complete foods on the planet. When traditionally and minimally processed, it retains its wealth of naturally occurring minerals, antioxidants, and flavanols, as well as its powerful active compounds, theobromine, anandamide, and phenylethylamine. Our Ceremonial Cacao is so healthy, you can drink it every day!
