Raw chocolate

Raw chocolate is chocolate made from cacao beans that are minimally processed and not subjected to high temperatures during production. This preserves more of the cacao's natural nutrients, antioxidants, and flavors. Unlike conventional chocolate, which is often roasted and heavily processed, raw chocolate is typically made through cold-pressing the cacao beans, maintaining a higher level of healthful compounds. It tends to have a more intense, earthy taste and a softer texture. Raw chocolate is popular among those seeking a less processed, more nutrient-rich treat, offering a balance of rich flavor and potential health benefits.
