CEREMONIAL CACAO CRIOLLO

Cocoa Criollo - 100% cocoa mass including cocoa butter, unroasted, non-alkalized, processed at low temperatures to retain as many nutrients as possible. It is not so easy to buy in pure quality, because farmers usually add a proportion of beans of the Trinitario variety, which has a higher yield. This Criollo cocoa is not so dark because it is not processed at high temperatures so as not to lose its natural aroma and taste.

Our favorite preparation method (for strong/up to ceremonial cocoa)

Bring 1 liter of water, 45-50g of cocoa mass, 2 cloves and a little 100% cinnamon, sugar/honey to taste to a boil and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.

You can also add milk and cook for a while longer.

Everyone is comfortable with a different preparation and a different amount - try it.

Very suitable for cocoa ceremonies and for making homemade chocolate, for baking, toppings, you can grate it into muesli, etc.

However, you can't just pour boiling water over it, it has to really boil, otherwise it won't come together and pieces will float on the surface.
