Question 10

Do I need to boil or cook this for a cup of hot chocolate drink?

Accepted Answer

Yes, boiling the chocolate is better as it brings out the flavor of the cacao at its best. However, if you are on the rush, you may also use it instantly by putting it in a freshly boiled cup of water or in your very hot cup of coffee. The chocolate easily melts!

Question 11

Is this fermented cacao or unfermented?

Accepted Answer

Our chocolates are made from LIGHTLY-FERMENTED organic cacao beans.

IN TERMS OF TASTE, fermented cacao is better than unfermented cacao.
IN TERMS OF NUTRITIONAL QUALITY, unfermented cacao is better than fermented cacao.

Fermentation reduces the natural phytic acid in the cacao beans. Phytic acid is the protective substance found in nuts, beans and seeds. This substance prevents the human body from absorbing the minerals found in the cacao beans.

Unfermented cacao, on the other hand, retains the anti-oxidant flavanoids of the cacao which are eliminated during fermenting.

For us to offer a highly-nutritious dark chocolate with a great taste, LIGHT FERMENTATION does the job.

Question 12

Is it creamy if melted or gritty (grainy, sandy)?
