Whole Cacao (Cocoa) Beans, 1lb, Fresh, Organic, Fermented or Unfermented, From an Organic Family Farm in the Dominican Republic. (Sanchez (Unfermented))
Grown on an organic family farm in the Dominican Republic, Caribbean Cacao offers you the finest, freshest certified organic cacao beans available on Amazon.This premium cacao is the best for consuming chocolate in its raw, natural state. The cacao nibs are unprocessed to maximize nutrient preservation.  Choose from either unfermented Sanchez variety, or the lightly fermented Hispaniola variety.  The Hispaniola beans are fermented to alleviate some of the natural bitterness.During fermentation the cocoa pulp clinging to the beans matures and turns into a liquid, which drains away and the true chocolate flavor starts to develop. We use three stage box method for fermentation. When fermentation is complete, the wet mass of beans is naturally sun-dried.
