Cocoa Cocao Extract Bitters

Our Cocoa Cocao Extract is made with pure organic raw cocoa powder and raw cocao nibs in a gluten free cane alcohol base. We have combined the two to offer a flavorful balanced blend that can be used in beverages, cocktails, coffee,  smoothies and foods. It sounds confusing but it’s simply one ingredient processed 2 ways. This extract does not offer a sweet Chocolate Flavor like we have all learned to love with our hot chocolate mixes and candy bars from the stores.  The Cocoa Cocao Extract could be considered a "single" Bitters as well as being an extract.  Chocolate in its natural form is in fact, bitter. Cocoa powder is the dry solid remains of fermented, dried, and roasted cacao beans. The beans are cracked into nibs, which are then ground into a paste made of cocoa solids suspended in near-flavorless cocoa butter. Once processors extract the butter they're left with the crumbly solids, which are then ground into a fine powder. Traditional chocolate is derived from the cacao plant
