Pana Chocolate How is it made?

The process behind creating the best organic handmade chocolate available

Pana Chocolate was developed with the intention of creating the most natural, organic chocolate possible. Doing so we maintain the best taste and experience, as well as naturally occurring nutritional benefits!

How do you make raw chocolate?

Once the cacao pod is picked, it is harvested, air dried and cold pressed – resulting in the two core components of Pana Chocolate; cacao butter and cacao powder.

The cacao pod is processed at lower than normal temperatures never going above  42 degrees. (The technical temperature for 'raw food')  this maintains the naturally occurring benefits from the cacao bean; the most antioxidant rich food source known.

These core components are mixed by hand with coconut oil and other delicious organic ingredients such as sour cherries and goji berries and slowly melted, still never going above 42 degrees.

From here the chocolatiers divide it into moulds where it is set in the refrigerator. The team then knock out the moulds, wrap in foil and package up each individual bar before they make their way across the globe to over 4,000 different stockists.
