FAQ
Cacao & chocolate questions.
What is the minimum order quantity for cacao?
Cacao powder: 250 kg. Raw cacao beans: 500 kg. Custom chocolate: 500 kg. Nibs and butter are quoted per order. Samples available at 100–250 g.
How is your cacao fermented and dried?
Beans are fermented 5–7 days under controlled conditions, sun-dried on raised beds to 7–8% moisture and hand-sorted before grading. Fat content runs 50–54% on raw beans.
Natural or alkalized powder — what's the difference?
Natural powder (pH 6.0–6.5) keeps the brighter, fruitier acidity of the bean. Alkalized (Dutch-process, pH 6.5–7.5) is darker, milder and dissolves more easily — the standard for beverages and dark bakery. We supply both at 10–12% fat.
Can you develop custom chocolate or private label?
Yes. Our chocolate technicians develop bespoke couvertures, ganaches, pralines and finished retail products. MOQ 500 kg for custom formulations, typically 4–6 weeks prototype to production.
What is the shelf life of cacao products?
Raw cacao beans keep 12–18 months stored cool and dry. Powder and finished chocolate keep 12–24 months. Cacao butter keeps up to 24 months in sealed food-grade packaging.
What certifications do your cacao products hold?
HACCP and ISO 22000. Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance on request. Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis with composition, allergen and pathogen test results.
