They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they do not tolerate direct sunlight and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. Forastero industrial cocoa, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. As the name suggests, fine flavoured cocoa tastes better, finer and less bitter than consumer cocoa, as it still contains all of the cocoa butter (approx. 55%), just like cocoa nibs. Criollo cocoa beans are slightly fermented and therefore develop more of their typical cocoa flavour. Why consume cocoa? The cocoa bean is an impressive food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances and is one of the foods with the highest antioxidant content! Cocoa can therefore make a significant contribution to protecting our cells from free radicals and premature ageing. Cocoa has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is important for the heart and brain, for calming and relaxing nerves and muscles and for building bones and cartilage. Together with other active ingredients, cocoa is an ideal brain food and promotes mental alertness and concentration. Cocoa beans contain a combination of substances that have a positive effect on our mind and trigger feelings of well-being and joy. And cocoa is high in sulphur, which is important for strong nails, healthy hair and beautiful, soft skin. What is cocoa mass used for? Cocoa liquor is excellent for use in all chocolate recipes.

Update: Due to the shortage of cocoa, the sale of cocoa butter is limited (maximum 6 pieces per size and order). Our aim is to be able to offer Criollo cocoa butter for as long as possible. The best before date of the current batch is 31.03.2027. Cocoa Butter Criollo Chips Organic (100% natural) Why buy cocoa butter chips? Cocoa butter is the solid form of the pure oil from the cocoa bean. The cocoa bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It is estimated that raw cocoa contains more than 300 substances and is one of the foods with the most antioxidants. It enriches many dishes with a wonderful, sensual chocolate flavour and is also excellent for skin care. What makes our Cocoa Butter Criollo Chips special? Our cocoa butter is 100% pure and of raw food quality. Grown in Peru. No chemicals are used either in cultivation or processing. This cocoa butter is the pure, golden oil from cocoa beans. Our cocoa butter is made from the particularly fine and rare Criollo fine flavoured cocoa variety. Fine flavoured cocoa varieties only account for 5-10% of global cocoa production. They grow under similar, often almost natural conditions, as they do not tolerate direct sunlight and thrive alongside other tall rainforest trees. Forestero industrial cocoa, on the other hand, is usually grown in monoculture plantations. In contrast to conventional products, our cocoa butter is never heated above 37°C and therefore has the quality of raw butter. Use of Cocoa Butter Criollo Chips in dishes / for recipes As a high-quality fat, cocoa butter enriches smoothies, desserts and ice creams in particular with a wonderful, sensual chocolate flavour. Ideal in combination with cocoa paste or cocoa powder for fine chocolate creations. Raw cocoa butter has a wonderful, delicate chocolate flavour, is versatile and melts at approx. 35°C in any type of recipe. Use of cocoa butter Criollo Chips for skin care Cocoa butter is also suitable for external use as a valuable skin care product (e.g. for dry skin). Due to its high content of antioxidants and skin-protecting substances, cocoa butter is a natural "fountain of youth" for the skin. With a melting point just below body temperature, you can simply glide a piece of cocoa butter over your skin without the need for any additives. Cocoa butter nourishes, absorbs well and gives dry skin a long-lasting, supple feel. And it has a sensual, aphrodisiac scent. A truly sensual oil with a soft, smooth texture and a mild, floral citrus flavour. Unfortunately, cocoa butter can hardly unfold its precious effect in most conventional cosmetic products. This is due to the small quantity, processing at excessively high temperatures and the addition of chemical additives in skin care products. In contrast to many cosmetic products, including expensive ones, that contain cocoa butter, our raw cocoa butter has been processed or blended without synthetic and harmful chemicals. This allows raw cocoa butter to fully unfold its precious effect for the natural beauty of our skin. Info: Only chips still on offer Due to the shift in demand, we now only offer Criollo cocoa butter as crisps. These crisps (also known as coins or drops) are of the same quality as the previously offered pieces and are also made from cocoa beans of the premium Criollo variety from Peru.

Yellow maca powder - the superfood from the Andes (100% natural) Wide range of maca Our raw maca powder from the Junin region in Peru is one of the best maca powders on the market. In addition to the yellow maca described here, our range currently also includes red and black maca, naturally also in organic and raw food quality. We also offer Bio Maca Max, a somewhat more digestible variant in which the starch contained in the maca powder is converted by heating, making it easier to digest and absorb. Our red maca powder fulfils the highest quality requirements ✓ from organic cultivation ✓ raw food quality due to a special air-drying process with the help of the sun ✓ pure variety from 100% red maca roots ✓ Grown at altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru ✓ 4:1 concentration, i.e. 4kg of maca tubers yield 1kg of maca powder Why consume yellow maca powder? Maca increases our energy levels. Maca makes us feel energised, grounded and happy. Maca also has a pleasant, malty flavour and can be used in many different ways. The root vegetable has been a staple food of the indigenous peoples of the Andes for thousands of years and is an excellent source of energy and stamina. Its content of biologically utilisable protein is approx. 11% in the dried root. For legal reasons (Swiss Foodstuffs Ordinance), as a food retailer we are not permitted to make any statements about possible effects. Do your own research on maca on the Internet. We find Dr Schweikart 's website very informative. The different varieties are also described there. What makes our yellow maca powder special and where is it produced? Our pure yellow maca powder is made from 100% natural maca roots from controlled organic cultivation, produced under strict production standards and quality controls. They all come from altitudes of over 4000 metres above sea level in the Junín region of Peru. Our suppliers work together with small farmers. In doing so, they create jobs for the local population and advise the small entrepreneurs by offering training and financial support. This is a means of raising the standard of living of small farmers and at the same time increasing their crop yields. How to use yellow maca powder in everyday life? Maca has a unique flavour and can be added to many different dishes. Some people find the flavour of maca powder somewhat reminiscent of caramel with a peppery note. Maca powder can be stirred into rice, nut or hemp milk, for example, or simply mixed into muesli. Mix maca powder with water, milk of your choice or add it to juice, smoothies, muesli or raw desserts. Maca is also a good binding agent for soups and therefore a tasty addition. We particularly like maca together with oatmeal and as an ingredient in our raw chocolate recipes. More recipes... It is advisable to start with a small amount of ½ tsp per day and increase up to 1-2 tbsp per day. Unlike soya products, Mexican yam and linseed, maca does not contain hormones. Note: A common misconception about superfoods and herbs is that there is a standard amount to consume. In general, the usual recommended daily intake for most superfoods, including maca, is between 1 tsp and 3 tbsp per day, divided into two or three doses. It is best to start with 1 tsp per day and adjust the amount to your personal needs.

Organic Yacon Syrup - Delicious, prebiotic sweetener Yacon is grown in the high mountain valleys of the Andes and has a dense root system that is bursting with minerals, vitamins and complex vital substances. The freshly squeezed juice of the root is a gift of nature and has been savoured by the Andean peoples for centuries. Why consume yacon syrup? An ideal sweetener for the health-conscious, diet-conscious and diabetics. The special thing about yacon is the quality of its sugar, which is predominantly in the form of oligofructose (or fructooligosaccharides). Oligofructose cannot be utilised by the digestive enzymes and therefore causes hardly any calories and is gentle on the blood sugar level. Yacon tastes delicious and has half the calories of honey, for example. Yacon syrup is also significantly less glycaemic than honey, agave syrup or maple syrup. The oligofructose in yacon also supports the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and thus improves the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The indigestible sugar thus serves as prebiotic food for the beneficial bacteria. What makes our yacon syrup special? Our yacon syrup comes from traditional varieties from the Peruvian Andes and is 100% natural, grown without pesticides or agrochemicals. It is produced at low temperatures, which guarantees that the syrup retains a very high quality of nutrients and enzymes. This yacon syrup is thickened from yacon juice in a special low-pressure process at low temperatures of 45°C. As yacon syrup can only be kept for a relatively short time without pasteurisation and additives, it is pasteurised at 70°C for 3 minutes. Our yacon syrup is therefore not raw, but is processed very gently, which means that the valuable nutrients and enzymes of the root are largely preserved. How to use yacon syrup? Yacon syrup is a versatile sweetener. It can be used to sweeten desserts, drinks and smoothies. For salad dressings, we like to mix the syrup with vinegar as a substitute for balsamic vinegar, which usually contains a lot of sugar. The sweetening power of the syrup is less than that of sugar, honey or agave syrup. To support a healthy intestinal flora, 1 teaspoon a day is sufficient. For a longer shelf life, we recommend storing the yacon syrup in the fridge.

Cocoa nibs Peru - 100% natural and unprocessed Update: Due to the cocoa shortage, we are currently not receiving 100% Criollo nibs from our supplier. The new batch contains 70% Criollo cocoa. The remaining 30% are Forastero, Trinitario and Nacional. They are also high quality, certified organic and from Peru. This is whyour cocoa nibs are temporarily called "Cocoa Nibs Peru". In comparison, they have a slightly more intense flavour and are slightly bitter, but are also very tasty. Cocoa nibs (also known as cocoa nibs) are obtained from cocoa beans by peeling them and breaking them into pieces. They taste even less bitter than cocoa beans. Our cocoa nibs made from fine flavoured cocoa are 100% raw and unprocessed. The fine flavoured cocoa is grown by small farmers in the Amazon rainforest under semi-wild conditions. Cocoa has all the benefits of chocolate, but without the unwanted high sugar content and additives. Why consume cocoa nibs? The cocoa bean is an amazing food given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances. Cocoa has the highest magnesium content of all foods. Magnesium is a component of bones and teeth, plays an important role in energy metabolism and is essential for normal muscle function and energy metabolism. Magnesium also plays a role in skeletal development and is important in the transmission of stimuli in the nervous system during muscle contraction. Cocoa beans contain a combination of substances that have a positive effect on our mood and trigger feelings of well-being and joy. What makes our organic cocoa nibs special? Our cocoa nibs are 100% raw and unprocessed. They come from the Criollo fine flavoured cocoa variety from Peru, which is one of the rarest and best varieties in the world. Our fine flavoured cocoa is cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Fine flavoured cocoa varieties only account for 5-10% of global cocoa production.

Criollo cocoa beans are lightly fermented and therefore develop more of their typical cocoa flavour. Cocoa nibs are extracted from the cocoa bean by peeling it and breaking it into pieces. The quality of our organic, fairly traded, certified Criollo cocoa is of great purity and free from mycotoxins, mould and yeast, preventing you from experiencing that nervous tension associated with the consumption of caffeinated foods and drinks. How to use cocoa nibs? On their own as a snack or sprinkled on muesli and fruit salad. Add to desserts and smoothies. Cocoa nibs taste particularly good together with goji berries and nuts. Cocoa nibs are practical for travelling and on the go, as they do not soften as quickly in the sun as normal chocolate. If you prefer more sweetness, you can dip the cocoa nibs in agave syrup or honey.

Organic spiced cocoa - produced in Switzerland Update: 20% discount on the current batch of our organic spiced cocoa with best before date 31.05.2026. As the import of Maya spiced cocoa was no longer worthwhile (due to the massive increase in transport costs), we have had our own spiced cocoa produced in Switzerland. The combination of high-quality cocoa and slightly hot spices make this cocoa powder a great experience. The new spiced cocoa has a more intense cocoa flavour than the old one and is slightly more bitter, slightly spicier, more chocolaty, less sweet and has no cinnamon flavour. The brown colour of the new spiced cocoa is slightly lighter. What is spiced cocoa? Our organic spiced cocoa is a coarse-grained chocolate powder consisting of cocoa mass and our Criollo cocoa powder. It is sweetened with raw cane sugar and flavoured with a slightly spicy blend of spices. Local and social production The spiced cocoa is produced by the chocolatiers of the Ancora-Meilestei Foundation in Wetzikon using a special process to achieve the desired consistency. Ingredients Cocoa mass 40%, raw cane sugar 30%, cocoa powder 25%, spice mix 5% (cocoa shells, sweet paprika, cane sugar, chilli, cinnamon, bourbon vanilla, tonka beans). All ingredients are certified organic. Preparation Mix the spiced cocoa into lukewarm plant-based drinks, smoothies, protein shakes and muesli. It also goes well melted as a dessert topping. If you like coconut flavour, then coconut milk with spiced cocoa will taste wonderful. Tip: To ensure that the spiced cocoa emulsifies (combines) well in cold drinks, use a whisk or milk frother wand. This will also produce a nice foam. For an intense cocoa flavour, mix 5 teaspoons (approx. 15g) with 1 cup of hot water or plant-based drink. If you want to use the cocoa for a ceremony, use 40-50g for approx. 2-3dl of water or plant drink. Many people experience euphoric feelings with this amount. This concentrated form was already used by Mayan shamans thousands of years ago as a "drink of the gods". 2 size variants We offer this fine spiced cocoa in two different sizes: 125g, makes 8 cups 250g, makes 16 cups Nutritional information per 100g Energy value 1612 kJ/385 kcalFat 11.4gof which saturated fatty acids 7.0gCarbohydrates 54.6gof which sugar 38.9gDietary fibre 28.5gProtein 16.4gSalt 0.1g

Update: The cocoa powder is sold out. The new batch will be packed on Friday 06.03.2026 and will be available again in all sizes (250g, 450g, 1kg).Low-fat cocoa powder with 10-12% cocoa butter content (100% natural) Update:Due to the cocoa shortage, we do not receive 100% Criollo powder from our supplier. The new batch contains 70% Criollo cocoa (previously 100%). The remaining 30% are Forastero, Trinitario and Nacional. They are also high quality, certified organic and from Peru. This is whyour cocoa powder is temporarily called "Cocoa Powder Peru". In comparison, it has a slightly more intense flavour and is slightly bitter, but also very tasty. Why cocoa powder? Cocoa has all the benefits of chocolate, but without the undesirable high sugar content and additives. As a reminder: milk chocolate only has a cocoa content of around 25%. The rest is sugar, milk powder, soya lecithin (emulsifier) and flavourings. Effect of cocoa? Raw cocoa is very nutritious. It has been determined that raw cocoa contains around 300 substances. It also contains the happiness combination of serotonin, dopamine, anandamide and phenetylamine (PEA). Cocoa has the highest magnesium content of all foods, i.e. 314mg per 100g, which corresponds to 75% of the recommended daily intake. Magnesium is a component of bones and teeth, plays an important role in energy metabolism and is essential for normal muscle function and energy metabolism. Magnesium also plays a role in skeletal development and is important in the transmission of stimuli in the nervous system during muscle contraction. Origin of our cocoa powder? Our raw cocoa powder comes mainly from the Peruvian fine cocoa variety Criollo - one of the best fine cocoa varieties in the world - and has a delicious, full chocolate flavour. What makes our cocoa powder special? The Criollo variety tastes better and is less bitter than other cocoa varieties. This also reduces the need to balance out the bitter flavour with sweeteners. It is obtained from unroasted, merely fermented cocoa beans. Gentle processing at low temperatures optimally preserves both nutrients and flavour. Gentle processing for maximum flavour To produce the powder, the fermented, unroasted fine flavoured cocoa beans are first ground. The resulting dark brown, viscous cocoa mass is cold-pressed to form a cake, from which the liquid, golden-yellow cocoa butter slowly drains off. The remaining "cocoa press cake" is then dried, very finely ground and sieved. This process does not require any chemicals, additives or extraction solvents and produces a fine, soft powder with a full, wonderful chocolate flavour. The use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers is also completely avoided. Food with a long tradition The cocoa bean is an impressive foodstuff given to us by Mother Nature. It was considered a gift from God by the Aztecs and was used not only as an offering but also as a means of payment. Tips for everyday use Mix cocoa powder into your muesli, smoothies, (hot) milk drinks and protein shakes. And of course, this cocoa powder is an excellent ingredient for delicious chocolate creations and desserts. Size variations We offer cocoa powder in 250g, 500g and 1kg bags as standard.
