Cacao Paste

Cacao Paste

EverydayRaw

Cacao paste, also known as cacao liquor, is pure, ground cacao beans in a solid or semi-solid form. This raw ingredient is produced by grinding whole cacao beans, separating the nib from the husk, and then milling the nibs into a smooth, dark mass. Cacao paste retains the intense, bittersweet chocolate flavor and is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. It serves as the base for chocolate production and can be used in baking or consumed directly for its potent flavor and nutritional benefits.
