Roasted Cocoa Beans - Peru

Originally from Mexico, cacao has conquered the world. Once considered a product of extreme nobility, it was used in the sacred rituals of the Olmec, Mayan, and Aztec peoples. Today, it is mainly consumed in a form that we all know: chocolate. However, in Mayan culture, cocoa is consumed alone, or mixed with other spices such as cinnamon and chili. It is this raw, intact cocoa that we invite you to discover with this roasted whole cocoa bean from Peru. Roasted cocoa beans have a raw, intense, bitter taste, with notes of red fruits.
