HOW Raaka MAKEs UNROASTED CHOCOLATE
"Most chocolate available today is made with roasted cacao beans. The process is considered essential to mass chocolate production, along with generous amounts of cocoa butter and vanilla. In the attempt to create a perfectly palatable and delicious "chocolate-ty" flavor sometimes the complex and unique flavors of the cacao beans are lost.
Cacao beans have a greater range of flavors than "chocolate". Some don't taste "chocolate-ty" at all. So we take a different approach: make chocolate that preserves the complex and surprising flavors of the cacao beans we start with, and create an adventurous and novel chocolate tasting experience.
All of our chocolate is made, packaged, and distributed by our team in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Each step is carried out by one of our skilled and creative chocolate makers with a keen attention to detail. We hope that with each bite our customers can taste the love and care put into every batch. "
