Organic cocoa | blend | nibs | roasted | 50-52%

What it is / Product description

Discover organic cocoa from Biova in the form of carefully roasted cocoa nibs with a natural cocoa butter content of 50–52%. The coarsely broken bean pieces from selected countries of origin impress with an intense cocoa note, dark brown colour and a crunchy bite.

Gentle roasting at Biova highlights the characteristic aromas of the organic cocoa and unites them in a harmonious blend. The nibs naturally contain cocoa butter, which gives them a pleasant richness and good workability in creative cooking.

In muesli, porridge or as a topping for yoghurt and smoothie bowls, the cocoa nibs add texture and an intense cocoa experience to your everyday life. Organic cocoa nibs are also extremely versatile for baking, in granola, pralines or homemade chocolate.

Origin

The cocoa beans come from the Dominican Republic, Peru, Madagascar, Sierra Leone and Ghana. Tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils promote slow ripening and a multi-layered aroma profile.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic cocoa is predominantly grown in mixed cultures under shade trees. After harvesting, the beans ferment for several days, are gently dried, then roasted, broken and separated from the shells at Biova – resulting in pure, roasted cocoa nibs.

Special features

The blend combines the sensory strengths of different cocoa origins in a well-balanced overall profile. With 50–52% cocoa butter, the nibs have a stable fat structure that convinces both on their own as a snack and in recipes.

Differences in origin and processing

Beans from the Dominican Republic and Peru contribute fruity notes, while Ghana and Sierra Leone provide classic chocolatey accents. Madagascan cocoa complements the profile with fine acidity and complex nuances, which are emphasised by the carefully tuned roasting at Biova.

Taste & Aroma

The roasted cocoa nibs have an intense cocoa aroma with subtle roasted and nutty notes. In taste, they are bitter-chocolatey with slightly fruity nuances and a crunchy texture that pairs particularly well with creamy components.
