Organic Raw Cocoa Powder Ecuador (Arriba Nacional)

Organic Raw Cocoa Powder from Ecuador – Arriba Nacional – 100% Raw Cocoa

Our organic raw cocoa powder is made from the renowned Arriba Nacional fine cocoa variety.
A single-origin cocoa from Ecuador with a uniquely nuanced aroma profile – intensely chocolaty, full-bodied and elegant.

Taste profile

Arriba Nacional is known for its complex, fine notes. Depending on the harvest and batch, in addition to the deep cocoa note
, delicate floral and fruity nuances often appear – ideal for pure cocoa enjoyment.

Origin: Single Origin Ecuador

The cocoa beans come from Ecuador (including regions such as Los Ríos, Manabí, Esmeraldas and Pichincha).
The cocoa typically grows in a variety of mixed crops/agroforestry systems – nestled between hardwoods and fruit trees.

Gentle processing

To ensure that the aroma and character of the fine cocoa are the focus, we rely on minimal processing:
careful fermentation and drying as well as gentle grinding. This keeps the profile particularly round and strong.
(Natural fat content possible depending on the batch – this makes the cocoa particularly creamy in drinks.)

How to use fine raw cocoa powder

• Drinking chocolate: Stir 1–2 tsp into warm milk alternative or milk, sweeten as desired.
• Smoothies & Shakes: For a deep cocoa note without additives.
• Fine desserts: Mousse, energy balls, porridge, yoghurt toppings.
• Baking: Brownies, cookies, cakes, pancakes – for real cocoa taste.

Tip: A small pinch of salt brings out the cocoa notes particularly beautifully.

Quality & Cadmium: Transparency

Cadmium is a naturally occurring element in soils and can be detected in cocoa, depending on its origin and soil conditions.
In the EU, binding maximum levels apply, including 0.60 mg/kg for cocoa powder sold to end consumers.
Switzerland is also guided by strict limits for cocoa and chocolate products.
We rely on suitable origin and pay attention to clean, traceable quality.
