LIVE BETTER
Our Live Better cocoa is grown in Dominican Republic methodically biological using cocoa beans Criollo, Forastero e Trinitarian. Some of the fava beans are not fermented to preserve polyphenols, the antioxidant molecules that fight free radicals.
We selected it through a scientific study with the University of Teramo, where we analyzed the polyphenol content in more than 100 samples of cocoa powder, to make sure it had a high content of antioxidants.
It has a bright color with reddish hues and an intense taste that envelops the mouth in a lingering cocoa aroma.
It has a PH 7 neutral, while cocoa naturally has a PH 5/5.5 therefore acidic. We wanted it that way for two reasons: because it is not acidic it is palatable even without sugar, and it is well tolerated even by those with problems such as gastritis and reflux.
Icing on the cake: we purchase our cocoa through contracts fairtrade To ensure a fair price for farmers.
