At Viva Cacao, we believe chocolate is more than just a treat. It’s an opportunity to nourish your body and soul. That’s why we go beyond traditional recipes, blending premium cacao with carefully chosen superfoods to create chocolate that’s as wholesome as it is delicious. Let’s take a closer look at the superfoods that make our chocolate so special.
The Superfood Base: Cacao
It all starts with our ethically sourced Arriba Nacional cacao from Ecuador and fine aromatic cacao from Peru. Packed with antioxidants, magnesium, and flavonoids, cacao is a superfood in its own right. It supports heart health, boosts mood, and delivers a natural energy boost. Our minimally processed cacao preserves its nutrient density and rich, complex flavour, setting the stage for our unique blends.
Spotlight on Superfoods in Our Chocolate
Lucuma
Known as “Gold of the Incas,” lucuma is a Peruvian fruit with a naturally sweet, caramel-like flavour. It’s rich in beta-carotene, antioxidants, and B vitamins, making it a great low-glycemic sweetener. In our Sugar-Free Vanilla with Lucuma Dark Chocolate, lucuma provides natural sweetness and nutrients without the need for added sugar.
Maca
Maca root, another treasure from Peru, is celebrated for its ability to enhance energy, stamina, and hormonal balance. With a subtle nutty flavour, maca brings a caramel-like complexity to our Salted Maca Crunch Dark Chocolate. It’s a perfect choice for those looking for a natural energy boost.
Reishi
Reishi mushroom has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its adaptogenic properties, helping to reduce stress and support the immune system. In our Vanilla Chai Reishi Milk Chocolate, reishi adds a subtle earthy undertone that complements the warm, spiced chai blend, offering a calming and nourishing experience.
