The TerzaLuna organic cocoa powder is obtained from the Theobroma cacao plant, native to South America, specifically from the processing of cocoa beans. The raw cocoa beans are obtained from the fruits of Theobroma Cacao, also known as cabosse, elongated fruits containing many seeds surrounded by a whitish substance. The fruits of the cocoa plant are treated with fermentation, which darkens the cocoa beans. These are then separated from the fruit and usually dried. Subsequently, the beans undergo various processing methods: a slow grinding process creates the so-called cocoa mass or cocoa paste, a dense, brown liquid that can also be found for sale online in the Terza Luna e-shop. Through processing in a hydraulic press, the famous cocoa butter is obtained from the cocoa mass, used in many culinary preparations. Once deprived of cocoa butter, the cocoa mass is pulverized to obtain cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder, raw or roasted? Many wonder which type of cocoa powder to choose. The qualities of raw cocoa powder are often praised, and it is true that roasting tends to disperse some of the food's properties. However, raw cocoa bean powder does not have the same quality as cocoa powder made from roasted beans, which is finer, drier, and ideal for making desserts and chocolate drinks. Furthermore, a roasting process tends to eliminate any bacteria generated during fermentation and makes the cocoa powder safer and more durable. Many wonder how long cocoa powder lasts: if well preserved and derived from roasted cocoa beans, it can be stored for up to a year. Despite the numerous properties of raw cocoa, when it comes to cocoa powder, it is always preferable to opt for cocoa powder made from roasted cocoa beans.
Like all cocoa products, even pure and untreated organic cocoa powder has significant beneficial properties for our body. Cocoa is an excellent antioxidant, containing theobromine and caffeine that make it a euphoric and stimulating substance, excellent for improving concentration and mood states. Pre-Columbian populations used it almost as a medicine, claiming its benefits for the cardiovascular system, the nervous and immune systems. Studies have also shown how cocoa is important for the intestinal microbiota and metabolism. Compared to other cocoa products, cocoa powder contains many minerals, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as flavonoids, in quantities higher than tea, red wine, and many fruits.
In the field of pastry, bitter cocoa powder is a precious ingredient, used in the preparation of cakes, tarts, cookies, and countless other recipes.
