Did you know cacao beans grow inside the cacao fruit surrounded by a delicious sweet pulp?
That pulp has been viewed as a waste product until recently, but it is both nutritious and delicious, which means there is less waste in cacao production and an extra revenue stream for the cacao farmers!
The cacao fruit pulp has a sweet and tangy flavour that reminds of honey and apricots and pairs incredibly well with our home 70% blend couverture.
Ingredients: Cacao fruit pulp, pectin, glucose, sugar, citric acid, cocoa butter, cocoa solids.
While this product is suitable for vegans, it is produced in a facility that contains Milk, Nuts, Wheat and Egg.

Ok, I love chocolate, but before now I didn’t know that the cacao fruit itself was edible.
I first bought these as a novel experience, but I’m a convert. The tarty blend of flavours in a wonderful soft package wrapped up in beautiful chocolate is incredible! Everyone who tried one was astounded.
Maybe it’s just that my family love tarty desserts!
