Kerala Single-Origin Cocoa Powder

Directly from small-scale farmers

This cocoa powder is produced locally from high-quality cocoa and is noticeably different from standard supermarket powder: smoother, rounder, and more aromatic, while retaining the bean’s natural character.

From cacao bean to powder, processed entirely on-site

In Kerala, the lightly roasted cacao nibs are ground into a smooth cacao mass using traditional stone mills. Next, some of the cacao butter is extracted. What remains is the so-called cacao cake, which is finely ground into powder.

This powder still contains more than 20% cocoa butter, which provides a rich mouthfeel and a smooth flavor, without any sharp bitterness.

Single-origin cocoa with a distinct terroir

This cacao is single-origin and sourced from the Idukki Mountains near Kerala. Just as with wine or tea, the terroir—soil, climate, and altitude—determines the flavor profile.

The varieties used are Trinitario and Forastero, known for their aromatic complexity and balance.

Artisanal fermentation and careful selection

The cacao beans are fermented in wooden crates made of jackfruit wood, then sun-dried in UV cabinets and further dried on wooden tables lined with nets.

Each batch is sorted by hand by women from the local community, which contributes to both quality and a fair supply chain.

Refined flavor profile without bitterness

Due to its higher fat content and gentle processing, this cocoa powder is lighter in color and strikingly refined in flavor.

Flavor notes: fruity, raisins, woody accents, and nuts.

Ideal for those who love pure cacao with nuance, without harsh bitterness.

Versatile in use

This cocoa powder is perfect for both hot and cold preparations, as well as for sweet and creative applications.

Usage tips:

• Mix with milk or a plant-based beverage for hot chocolate or a cacao latte

• Add to coffee for a subtle hint of chocolate

• Add to smoothies, porridge, granola, or muesli

• Give desserts an intense yet well-rounded chocolate flavor

• Make a cacao brew in a French press as an alternative to coffee

• Use as a base for homemade single-origin chocolate ice cream
