Giddy Yoyo's meticulous effort to use only Wild Ecuadorian Heirloom Arriba Nacional CACAO puts us in a category of our own; we select only fully mature ripe pods by hand from mature trees (which are a minimum of 30 years old, and some as old as 80 years) grown in mineral rich volcanic high elevation soil. These trees are never irrigated from potentially contaminated rivers and streams as the water source is from rain, the tree’s deep root structure and pure mountain springs. Giddy Yoyo also works directly with those who supply the raw cacao pods (aka Direct Trade) and eagerly compensate above ‘Fair Trade’ standards. It is their goal to ensure that everyone along the supply chain is well taken care of. Happy workers = happy food= happy people!

This is my favourite raw cacao powder. I am very
pleased with my purchase . I am very fond of a
chocolate mousse and this cacao powder makes my mousse taste wonderful. Also, I use it
for making a hot chocolate or baking various cakes. I plan on buying this product on a regular basis.

On the bag seal: Mine works perfectly fine. I like this. I can only have very small amounts since im very sensitive to chocolate. But it is great when I crave it and do not want sugary modified milk ingredient and whatever as a hot chocolate. Knowing I am actually more sensitive to raw cacao makes it better for me to curb cravings because I won't overconsume this one. It took me a day to find this out though because I was a little over excited about this product when it arrived...not fun! Start with just a little bit! This is powerful food.
