Our raw chocolate is produced from 100% unroasted cacao beans.
Our manual production process ensures that the raw product remains heated below
108 degrees Fahrenheit. This technique preserves the value of the Cacao bean’s
delicate enzymes, antioxidants, minerals and other nutrients. Chocolate (Cacao)
in its raw state, is an incredible super-food!
No preservatives. No additives. No emulsifiers. No compromises.
Our
Ingredients: Quality
and Conscience
Theobroma Cacao: Theobroma (literally meaning “food of the gods”)
Cacao has been used medicinally and ceremonially as far back as 1900 B.C.
So valuable was it to many Meso-Americans, that it was used as a form of
currency. Raw Cacao's real value though, lies in its nutritional properties as
a potent antioxidant and a rich source of magnesium. The cultivar, Arriba
Nacional-Fino de Aroma, is an indigenous heirloom bean, considered to have
the finest floral aroma and flavour, as well as an extremely high source of
naturally occurring nutrients and minerals.
Agave Nectar: Our clear Raw Agave Nectar is concentrated from the juice
of the succulent desert Blue Tequilana plant, and comprised of simple
sugars very similar to fructose (fruit sugar). PlanetLove uses only truly raw,
clear agave nectar as it is a low glycemic index sweetener therefore, it causes
little change in the body’s natural blood sugar levels.
The Process: From Raw Bean to Raw Bar
Our premium grade
Cacao beans are ethically sourced (fairtrade) from Ecuador. These heirloom
raw cacao beans are first hand peeled, and naturally sun-dried. The cacao
is then melted at temperatures below 108 F which ensures optimal levels of
minerals, nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants. Once melted, agave nectar is
added and the chocolate is then hand-poured and cooled. When solid, each bar is
then individually inspected for stringent quality control and hand wrapped.
PlanetLove lovingly prepares small batches of chocolate on a weekly
basis, and this ensures that our consumer always receives a fresh “living”
product. Any minor “imperfections” are a result of our manual techniques.
We, at PlanetLove are committed to producing ethically-sourced, organic
products with the highest quality ingredients possible, in order to bring our
customers a chocolate product that is unrivalled.
Just three ingredients: whole raw cacao, clear raw agave and love!
No preservatives, no additives, no emulsifiers, no compromises
