We at Holy Cacao are engaged from the moment
the cacao bean is harvested
From the very beginning, being in touch with independent farmers, all the way through the casting, cooling, and wrapping stages of the chocolate bar itself. This intensive and intimate process allows for a closely monitored chocolate making procedure that renders a far higher quality chocolate than that of factory production.
Stage 1
Meeting Cacao Farmers World Wide
We personally travel to meet the farmers we work with to listen and learn from the harvesting experts.We do proper research in order to find knowledgeable and experienced local farmers from whom we cultivate our bean
Stage 2
Harvesting Cacao
We ensure that our beans are harvested by fair paid workers in ethical work environments.
Stage 3
Fermentation & Drying
The beans go through a variety of ingenious fermentation processes innovated by crafty cacao experts.
Stage 4
Shipping
With proper care and handling the beans now start their long journey to the holy land.
Stage 5
Roasting & Winnowing
We separate the cocoa beans from other natural elements gathered in the harvesting process and gently roast them to extract premium aroma and flavour. We then winnow the beans by cracking the exterior, leaving the pure nib ready for refinement
Stage 6
Grinding & Refining
The the coarse husky bean is ground and mixed with natural sugar and then ground again into a super fine texture ready for casting.
Stage 7
Tempering
The fine cocoa is now heated and cooled repetitively to harden it and turn it into castable cocoa and molded.
Stage 8
Packaging
The cocoa is cast into bars and shipped out to our loyal and bean-to-bar loving customers!
