The Power of Cacao

Cacao is a true superfood and is naturally rich in essential minerals, polyphenols and antioxidants. But not all chocolate keeps these benefits. Industrial processing can strip cacao of many of its naturally occurring compounds, which is why how chocolate is made matters just as much as what it’s made from.

Our cacao is grown in the nutrient rich soils of the Solomon Islands, in a pristine, organic growing environment where cacao trees thrive naturally. Healthy soil grows healthy trees – and exceptional cacao begins at the source.

Why Our Chocolate Is So Good for You

We source exceptional hand graded cacao beans that are independently laboratory tested for heavy metals and key minerals. From there, we use gentle, small-batch methods designed to protect cacao’s natural integrity.

By crafting our chocolate from the whole roasted cacao bean, we preserve more of cacao’s inherent goodness – resulting in chocolate that not only tastes remarkable, but also supports wellbeing and delivers the feel-good benefits cacao has been associated with throughout history.

Bean to Bar, With Purpose

We work directly with whole cacao beans and control every step of the process. Being bean to bar means we oversee sourcing, roasting, grinding, and crafting – with no shortcuts and no compromises.

Our cacao is kept 100% natural and never subjected to chemical processing such as alkalisation. This allows us to retain more of cacao’s natural nutritional value rather than stripping it away. It’s a fundamentally different approach to conventional chocolate making – and one you can taste, feel, and trust.

THE SCIENCE-BACKED BENEFITS & WHY QUALITY MATTERS

NATURALLY RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS

Cacao is one of the richest natural sources of antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. These antioxidants support cellular health and contribute to overall vitality and long-term wellbeing.

HIGH IN POLYPHENOLS FOR HEART HEALTH

Dark chocolate is naturally high in polyphenols which are plant compounds linked to supporting healthy blood flow and cardiovascular function. When cacao is minimally processed, these beneficial compounds are better preserved and more bioavailable.

A NATURAL SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM & ESSENTIAL MINERALS

Cacao is rich in magnesium, zinc, and potassium – minerals that support muscle function, nervous system health, energy production, and everyday resilience. These nutrients occur naturally in cacao and are often reduced or lost in heavily processed chocolate.

SUPPORTS GUT HEALTH WITH NATURAL FIBRE

Whole-bean cacao is naturally high in dietary fibre, including soluble fibre that supports gut health and digestion. Fibre also plays an important role in supporting satiety and balanced energy levels.
