The cacao is sourced directly from small-scale family farms in Peru.
Raw cacao is a natural superfood that is high in nutrients such as iron, magnesium and zinc.

COLD GRINDING
Unique process, cryogenic grinding is to preserve the delicate flavour compounds and nutritional properties of the cacao. This ceremonial cacao from Peru undergoes cryogenic milling of unroasted raw cacao nibs, which are pre-fermented, gently dried, peeled, and ground.

Ceremonial cacao, obtained through cryogenic grinding of nibs at -80°C, is a unique product with distinct qualities. Unlike commonly used cacao powder, which is typically skimmed and ground with a lower fat content of 10-15%, ceremonial cocoa retains its natural fat content, approximately 52%, known as cocoa butter. This preservation of cocoa butter is crucial for maintaining the original taste, aroma, and nutritional profile of the cocoa beans.

The cryogenic grinding process ensures the thorough grinding of dried and fermented cacao beans while preserving their natural fat, which is challenging to achieve through traditional grinding methods. This method allows the cacao mass to retain all valuable macro- and micro-nutrients present in the raw cacao beans, ensuring a rich nutritional profile.

Full-bodied flavour, aromatic richness, and enhanced nutritional benefits compared to traditional cacao powder. The term "ceremonial" highlights its special status and signifies its superior quality and processing method.

Meticulously selected blend of cocoa beans from Criollo (70%) and Trinitario & Forastero (30%) varieties from controlled cultivation.

Rich in health-promoting phytonutrients, including potent antioxidants such as catechin flavanols, alkaloids, fatty acids NAE and PEA from the cannabinoid family, as well as essential amino acids and valuable minerals.

RHUMAA CACAO

Rhumaa started as a Dutch sustainable fashion brand supporting unknown African artists and has evolved into a conscious lifestyle brand focused on health and wellness, with raw cacao at its core. Cacao is one of the highest antioxidant foods in the world. Its slight bitterness indicates its detoxifying properties, particularly of the liver, and release of emotions. Cacao can also replenish vital minerals such as magnesium, chromium, copper, calcium, manganese, zinc, sulphur and phosphorous. Cacao contains norepinephrine (the joy molecule), serotonin, dopamine, anandamide (the bliss molecule), theobromine (a cardiac stimulator that relaxes your blood vessels and produces a 30-40% higher blood circulation allowing higher absorption of all the superfoods that cacao contains) and much much more.
