The pleasure of pure cocoa for a short break in your day

This organic cocoa powder from Unimedica is excellent for baking and preparing sweet desserts with a tasty touch of chocolate, or as tangy drinking chocolate.

The cocoa for the organic cocoa powder from Unimedica is grown in strictly controlled organic conditions in Ghana and the Ivory Coast.

Strongly de-oiled cocoa for more aroma with less fat

The fine dry ground cocoa powder is strongly de-oiled – the cocoa contains less than 20 % cocoa butter, far less fat than traditional cocoa. So the aroma is correspondingly stronger and the powder is easier to dissolve in liquid. The cocoa powder is unsweetened.

Organic cocoa powder for heavenly pleasure

Cocoa powder has a very long tradition as drinking chocolate, prepared according to a variety of different recipes. The first cocoa plant was discovered in Mexico. Thousands of years ago the Incas and Mayas enjoyed hot cocoa drinks for certain rituals and believed in the healing power of cocoa.

The Aztecs even used cocoa beans as money. They regarded cocoa as a gift of the god Quetzalcoatl. We now know that cocoa indeed contains many valuable plant substances.

How organic cocoa powder from Unimedica is made

The beans for the cocoa powder from Unimedica are gently heated to preserve as much of the valuable ingredients as possible and to prepare them for the next stage, the roasting. The beans for the cocoa powder are more highly heated than those used for chocolate. This promotes the typical roast cocoa aroma and the dark brown colour of the beans used in cocoa powder.

Organic cocoa powder from Unimedica is, according to legal requirements, free of preservatives and still does not contain additives such as colouring, stabilisers, sweeteners and separating agents such as magnesium stearate; it is also GMO-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, allergen-free and vegan.
