  Quetzal Raw Cocoa
Well by popular demand cocoa is available again from Quetzal. The cocoa is of the highest quality with the deepest colors and textures. We blend the cocoa with the highest quality sugar to form a chocolate that produces the richest and smoothest texture available when heated with milk to make Hot Chocolate, Cafe Mocha and similar drinks.  For sure the worlds highest quality cocoa. Think about cocoa and chocolate. During the time of the Aztecs, it was thought of as the food of the gods. Cocoa’s extraordinarily complex flavour profile, comprising more than 400 components, blended with its unique mouthfeel, create an unequalled feeling of indulgence.
 
Cocoa Powder is a unique food ingredient – with no substitute. The flavour, texture and mouthfeel of the finished product are all influenced by it. Its colour is important, because it prompts certain taste and other sensory perceptions.   The key features of flavour and colour are largely developed and enhanced during the roasting and processing of the broken cocoa kernel, the nib. After roasting, the nib is ground into a liquid mass, called cocoa liquor. By blending and subsequently grinding the cake, cocoa powders with tightly-controlled colour, flavour, fat content and pH are obtained.
