This Cacao is grown at an altitude of 11,150 ft in the remote mountains of Cuzco, which is the region travelers transit through to reach the sacred valley of Machu Picchu. This raw organic chocolate is known to have a winning flavor and scent. One sniff/taste and you will know exactly what I"m talking about! I know no other Cacao Beans on the market that"s genuinely processed at a lower temperature than ours. Due to the impeccable cleanliness of our factories and the high altitude where this Cacao is processed, it has a very low lead count, unlike many other cacao products on the market today. This is by far the best organic raw Cacao Products that we have ever come across in our history with Superfoods!
