An Unrefined Single-Origin Cacao from Bali
Balinese Cacao is an unrefined, single-origin cacao powder, grown and fermented at Zen Resort Bali. The beans are sun-dried, gently roasted and finely ground at low temperatures, keeping their natural cacao butter and a rich, nutty taste with notes of caramel. It makes a slow cup of hot chocolate, and works in smoothies, porridge and baking.
The Cacao
Balinese Cacao is a single ingredient, the whole cacao bean, long revered as a heart and mood tonic. Unrefined, with its cacao butter kept, it is naturally rich in flavanols, iron and magnesium.
For Heart, Mind and Mood
Balinese Cacao (Theobroma cacao): Traditionally used as a heart and brain tonic, valued for supporting healthy circulation and blood vessels, easing mental fatigue and encouraging a sense of warmth and contentment. Its natural iron and magnesium support energy and muscle relaxation.
Why Unrefined?
Most supermarket cocoa has its cacao butter removed and is treated with alkali so it dissolves instantly, which strips away much of its natural antioxidant content. Balinese Cacao is minimally processed and keeps its cacao butter, so it settles a little in the cup but holds its full flavour.
