Traditionally cultivated by the Mayas, Olmecs and Aztecs, today most areas of cultivation of the cocoa tree are still along the Amazon and Orinoco. The name tells us everything: Theobroma Cacao – the food of the ancient world of the Gods.
Our golden yellow, pure cocoa butter is from certified biodynamic cultivation in Bolivia and fair traded with the “HAND IN HAND” seal. By pressing roasted cocoa beans it is possible to obtain the light-yellow aromatic fat.
