The cacao in her most pure form (including cacao butter) has very high nutritional values and supports your body to take in all the nutrients. To make raw cacao powder the cacao butter needs to be treated with a high hydraulic pressure to separate it. The remains are finely ground until there’s cacao powder. The powder usually gets treated to make it easier to dissolve or to create a softer taste. KAKALINA chooses to keep the cacao in the purest form for the most powerful effect.
