Product Information
- FINEST QUALITY NICARAGUAN ORGANIC CACAO BEANS - Carvalho Naturals whole cacao beans are a mixture of the Criollo and Trinitario variety. Our single source organic cacao comes from Nicaragua where the cacao plants are processed 100% organically without making use of any fertilizer, fungicides, herbicides or pesticides.
- OUR CACAO BEANS ARE CAREFULLY INSPECTED BEFORE FERMENTATION- To ensure the quality of our fermented cacao beans, they first go through inspection to assess freshness and uniformity. Their acidity is also checked prior to fermentation.The resulting cacao whole bean is delicious enough to eat straight from the bag, or added to your favorite sweet or savory dish.
- FERMENTED, UNROASTED AND UNPEELED CACAO BEANS- Chocolate made from unfermented cacao beans does not have the body and richness as that made from fermented cacao beans. Wooden boxes are used for the fermentation of these cacao beans. Only banana leaves and organic sacks are used for insulation to make sure the beans remain untouched by inorganic materials.
- DECADENT FLAVOR IDEAL FOR ARTISAN CHOCOLATIERS - Both expert and novice artisan chocolatiers will find these Trinitario and Criollo beans flavorful after being properly roasted. They produce a flavor most dominant of cocoa, with a strong fruit and a hint of floral flavor. These can be used to create uniquely flavored chocolates.
- OUR ORGANIC CACAO BEANS ARE CONVENIENTLY PACKED IN A FOOD GRADE RESEALABLE POUCH BAG - Our organically fermented and dried Nicaragua cacao beans are packed in 16 Oz resealable pouch bags. This makes it easier to use these naturally processed cacao beans in batches as needed, then store them safely inside the resealable pouch bags.
