Origins
What you read about Tanzania in travel guides is one thing. Another is tasting some of the dishes from this amazing country on the east coast of Central Africa. Whether you try spices from the island of Zanzibar, fruit from Lake Tanganyika, or ugali with tomato sauce on the streets of Dar es Salaam, you’ll always enjoy a perfect harmony of flavors, aromas, and colors. The same is true of Tanzanian cocoa.
Cocoa trees have probably been grown in Tanzania for a very long time, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that local farmers began to produce cocoa from their fruits. Until then, they sold cocoa beans in what is known as wet form, i.e., only cleaned, unfermented, and undried. With the global growth in demand for high-quality cocoa, cocoa production has revived and interest in growing cocoa trees has increased.
The cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) is an evergreen tree that originated in the rainforests of South and Central America. The flowers grow rather unusually directly from the trunk and are pollinated by tiny flies. The fruit of the cacao tree is a berry with longitudinal grooves which contain chambers with seeds – the cocoa beans. These need to be removed and processed.
The most common method of producing cocoa powder begins with fermentation, followed by drying and pre-roasting the beans. The harvested beans are then sent to a factory, where they are sorted, cleaned, and roasted again. Next, they are crushed, ground, and pressed. Cocoa powder and cocoa butter are separated from the resulting mass.
Why include high-quality plantation cocoa in your diet? Mainly because of its high content of health-promoting antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It also contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine, which improve your mood and provide energy for physical and mental activity. Last but not least, cocoa is worth noting for its unique taste and aroma.
Tanzania 20/22 Organic Cocoa Powder is suitable for vegetarians and vegans; it contains 20-22 percent cocoa butter.
This product may trigger an allergic reaction in people sensitive to cocoa. It may contain traces of nut shells.
Store at a temperature of 12-20°C.
