Fermented vs Unfermented Cacao: Flavor, Nutrition & Why We Work With Both
Fermentation changes more than flavor in cacao — it changes nutrition too. At Cacao Huasi, we explore both fermented and unfermented cacao through handmade bars, brittle, and raw nibs, balancing deep chocolate flavors with the bright, mineral-rich qualities of raw cacao. Inspired by research from São Paulo State University and generations of cacao knowledge from farmers and tree to bar makers in Costa Rica.
