AYMARA FOOD COCOA
Our cocoa nibs and powder come from the beans of the Theobroma cacao (literally “food of the gods“), a shrub that grows in the fertile soils of South American forests.
Cocoa is best known as the main ingredient of chocolate. However, cocoa was originally used by the Aztecs and Mayans for ceremonies, or as a means of payment, medicine and even a health food. It was then introduced into Europe by the Spanish.
Aymara Food’s cocoa products are intended for consumers who are looking for the nutritional benefits of cocoa. Our cocoa products are “raw” and have been processed at temperatures below 45ºC, in order to preserve as much as possible the natural properties of the beans.
