What temperature should ceremonial cacao be heated to?

As a chef of 20 years at a very high level I like to think I know my s**t so.....

One of the questions I get asked most often is whether heating cacao destroys its beneficial properties.

The sweet spot is around 60-65°C. This allows the cacao to melt beautifully while helping to preserve many of the antioxidants, minerals, and plant compounds that make ceremonial cacao so special.

While boiling water won't completely ruin your cacao, as it will still tast great gentler temperatures help maintain more of its natural goodness, flavour, and energetic qualities.

Please note!!!!!

"Do not simmer cacao for ages it will kill the compounds"

"Do not Cook the cacao in a pan before adding the liquid it will kill the compounds"

Less time under heat the better......Heat liquid, add cacao, mix untill combined.....take off.....fully intact....this is the facts.

Over cooking kills....it doesnt matter what happend hundered of years ago this is factual science.

Do you check the temperature of your cacao, or do you simply go by feel?

Your bleed is not a time to fight your body.

It's a time to nourish it. ❤️🍫

Our ceremonial cacao can be a beautiful ally during your bleed time.

Our Cacao is naturally rich in magnesium, a mineral involved in muscle relaxation. Many women find that increasing magnesium intake can help ease menstrual cramps by supporting the relaxation of the uterus and reducing tension in the body.

It also contains potassium, which helps support fluid balance and healthy muscle function, potentially helping with bloating and that heavy, sluggish feeling that can sometimes arrive during your bleed.

Pure Cacao contains compounds that support the production of serotonin and dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitters that can help lift mood, bring emotional balance, and offer a little more softness during a time when emotions can feel heightened.

Not to forget cacao contains anandamide the bliss molecule and PEA the love molecule!

✨ Less cramping
✨ More relaxation
✨ Improved mood
✨ Greater emotional balance
✨ A feeling of warmth, comfort and nourishment

For many women, a daily ceremonial cacao ritual during their bleed becomes a wonderful ease on life.

It becomes a moment to slow down, listen, and honour the wisdom of the body. ❤️🍫🌹

Cacao was given to humanity for healing, and my purpose is to share that. Whether you're on a spiritual path or not, this amazing plant is here for your healing.

I spent 20 years in hospitality, the last few being in the kitchens with this legend .

He has been following the journey, seeing what cacao can do, the changes, the growth, so he asked me to come and share the wisdom with the teams at Travers Smith in London with a cafe takeover.

I shared the story, shared the elixir; they loved it!

It was a great honor to be back in the hospitality space, sharing information about my passions.

Cacao can help change the game when it comes to the coffee culture in office spaces.

Wanna know more about why pure cacao is a much better choice than coffee?

Follow the journey, check out the blogs, look at the website...

DM if you are interested in how to change the landscape of concentration, energy flow, healing, and happiness in your teams...

Pure, unprocessed cacao contains naturally occurring compounds that may support mood, focus, and cognitive function.

Below are scownce based reasons cacao may help improve brain function....everything is connected.

Flavanols
These plant compounds have been studied for their role in supporting blood flow to the brain, cognitive performance, and protecting brain cells from oxidative stress

Theobromine
Unlike caffeine, theobromine gives a gentler, longer-lasting lift without the sharp spikes and crashes. It increases blood flow and oxygen around the body, including the brain, helping many people feel more awake, clear, and present.

Magnesium
Cacao is rich in magnesium, a mineral essential for healthy brain and nervous system function. Magnesium plays a role in relaxation, stress regulation, memory, and supporting balanced mood.

Anandamide
Known as the “bliss molecule,” anandamide is linked with feelings of wellbeing and pleasure. Cacao naturally contains anandamide and compounds that may help it stay in the body for longer.

Serotonin & Dopamine Support
Cacao contains compounds and precursors that may support the pathways involved in serotonin and dopamine production, chemicals connected to mood, motivation, and emotional wellbeing.
