Peruvian Cacao Powder

Real raw cacao powder from a single origin: our organic farms in Tingo Maria, Peru. The beans are fermented and dried on the farm, never roasted at high heat, then ground into a smooth, dark powder with a hint of natural sweetness. No sugar, nothing added. Packaged at the source and flown to the USA. 284 g pouch.
Cacao, not cocoa
Cacao and cocoa come from the same bean. The difference is heat. Cocoa is roasted at high temperatures, which gives a milder taste but loses some of what the bean has to offer. Cacao is kept raw, so more of the natural antioxidants, magnesium and iron stay in. Incaliving Peruvian Cacao Powder is raw, organic and single origin, with an earthy, deep chocolate flavor and a soft natural sweetness.
Why Incaliving cacao is different
- Single origin, Tingo Maria. Our cacao grows at the foothills of the Andes in Tingo Maria, a region known for exceptional cacao.
- Fermented on the farm. Right after harvest the beans rest for several days in wooden boxes. This is where the flavor develops, and it happens on the farm, not in a factory abroad.
- Never roasted. Low-temperature processing keeps the cacao raw.
- Packaged at the source, flown to the USA. Sealed in Peru and shipped by air.
- Certified organic, non-GMO, no sugar, no additives, vegan, gluten free, paleo friendly.
How to use cacao powder
One tablespoon in your smoothie, coffee, oatmeal or hot milk. Bake with it in brownies, cakes and energy balls. Because it is unsweetened, add a little honey, dates or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Try our maca coconut chocolate balls recipe on the blog.

Frequently asked questions
Does cacao powder have caffeine? Very little. One tablespoon has about 12 mg of caffeine, compared with about 95 mg in a cup of coffee. Cacao’s gentle lift comes mostly from theobromine, a milder cousin of caffeine.
Can I substitute cacao powder for cocoa powder in recipes? Yes, one for one. Cacao is a bit stronger and less sweet, so you may add a touch more sweetener.
Is this Dutch processed? No. Dutch processing uses an alkali to soften the flavor. Ours is natural, raw and unprocessed.

This cacao powder is incredible. We’ve searched and searched for cacao powder similar to what we had in Peru. Finally!! It’s smooth, delicious, and just like we enjoyed in the Amazon. I put a small amount in my coffee. A warm coconut milk with 3 teaspoons and a dab of vanilla bean paste is now my favorite fall winter treat. Incredible flavor and purity. Thank you!
