CACAO
Cocoa, often referred to as the "Food of the Gods", derives its name from the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Cocoa has woven its way through the tapestry of human history, from the ancient Mayans and Aztecs who considered it a sacred beverage, to the European explorers who introduced it to the courts of kings and queens as an innovative indulgence. Its rich flavour and potential health benefits have captivated generations, with cocoa becoming a delicious symbol of luxury and well-being. Today, cocoa is known for its antioxidant-rich profile and mood-enhancing properties mainly due to its high flavonoid and theobromine content, that support cardiovascular health, cognitive function and increase vitality. Its ability to invigorate the body and elevate the spirit, continues to solidify cocoa's reputation as a "divine elixir".
