Activated Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are packed with goodness...

From healthy fats and vitamin E to a generous dose of magnesium, calcium, potassium, fiber, and more!

There’s a simple way to make them even more beneficial: activating them, which means soaking them in water!

Nuts and seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower, and sesame seeds) contain enzyme inhibitors that can make digestion difficult.

Soaking kickstarts the germination process, eliminating this issue!

Additionally, as germination begins, the levels of vitamins (C, B, and carotenoids, among others) increase, while the absorption of magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, and zinc improves, and the fat content decreases.

Finally, we gently dry them at a low temperature (40-45°C) to preserve their nutrients.

The Criollo Cocoa from Peru

This chocolate is made from high-quality cocoa grown in the Satipo province, on the edge of the vast Amazonian plain in Peru. It grows at an altitude of between 700 and 1000 meters.

It is an exceptional cocoa with subtle aromas. It stands out for:
✔ Natural sweetness – Less bitter than other varieties, it reveals delicate notes of dried fruits, honey, and spices.
✔ Low tannin content – This gives it a silky texture and a refined taste.
✔ Nutritional richness – Rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and theobromine, it is known for its energizing benefits and heart-opening effect.

It is raw, organic, and grown in a respectful and ethical manner by wonderful people.

Each step of the production process is carried out with careful attention. The cooperative from which it originates is one of the last in Peru (and even in all of Latin America) to cultivate and protect this variety in order to prevent the introduction of hybrids into the producers’ plantations.
