Organic Roasted Cacao Nibs Blend 50–52% Cocoa Butter, 1 kg

Product description

Discover Biova organic cacao in the form of carefully roasted cacao nibs with a natural cocoa butter content of 50–52%. These roughly broken pieces of cacao beans from selected origins offer an intense cacao flavour, deep brown colour and a satisfying crunch.

Gentle roasting at Biova brings out the characteristic aromas of the organic cacao and combines them into a harmonious blend. The high cocoa butter content gives a pleasant richness and makes the nibs easy to work with in creative kitchens.

In muesli, porridge or as a topping for yoghurt and smoothie bowls, these cacao nibs add texture and a full-on cacao experience to everyday dishes. They are also highly versatile in baking, granola, pralines or homemade chocolate.

Origin

The cacao beans for this blend come from the Dominican Republic, Peru, Madagascar, Sierra Leone and Ghana. A tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils support slow ripening and a complex, layered aroma profile.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic cacao is predominantly grown in mixed-crop systems under shade trees. After harvesting, the beans are fermented for several days, gently dried, then roasted at Biova, broken and separated from their shells to produce pure roasted cacao nibs.

Special features

This blend brings together the sensory strengths of different cacao origins in a well-balanced profile. With 50–52% cocoa butter, the nibs have a stable fat structure that performs well both as a stand-alone snack and as an ingredient 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 cacao adds fine acidity and complex nuances, which are highlighted by Biova’s carefully tuned roasting.

Taste & aroma

The roasted cacao nibs have an intense cacao aroma with subtle roasted and nutty notes. On the palate they are dark-chocolatey and slightly bitter with delicate fruity nuances and a crunchy texture that pairs especially well with creamy components.
