Premium Raw Morogoro Cacao Powder is made from organic cacao beans from the famous Kokoa Kamili cooperative in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. The beans are not roasted before grinding - they're fermented and sun-dried for a fruity, bright flavor.
It's a fruity and nutty cacao that's great for sweets but is particularly delicious as a savory ingredient as an alternative to paprika in stews, chilis and tomato sauces, where it adds sweetness and depth similar to caramelized onions, barbecue or soy sauce.
COOKING

Sourced from Burlap and Barrel Morogoro cacao is sourced fr9om a cooperative of nearly 3,000 small farms in the Kilombero Valley. It is processed onsite to control consistency through fermentation (vs. commercial roasting).
