Côte d'Ivoire Cocoa: Why Real African Cocoa Is Infinitely Better

Côte d'Ivoire is the world's leading cocoa producer. Yet, most French people don't know that the cocoa they consume daily — in chocolate, industrial powders — has almost nothing to do with real Ivorian raw cocoa.

Raw Cocoa vs. Processed Cocoa: The Difference

Industrial cocoa powder is alkalized (Dutch process) to soften its taste, but this process destroys up to 60% of flavonoids, the antioxidants that make cocoa so nutritious.

Our cocoa, however, is non-alkalized and untreated. It retains all its nutritional power.

The Benefits of Ivorian Raw Cocoa

  • ❤️ Cardiovascular health: flavonoids protect arteries
  • ⚡ Natural energy thanks to theobromine
  • 💪 Rich in magnesium: essential for muscles and the nervous system
  • 🛡️ Powerful antioxidants: among the most concentrated in the plant kingdom
