Raw chocolate originates from Criollo Arriba and is made using unroasted cacao beans and cold cacao butter. Preparing chocolate involves heating the components, but raw chocolate is never exposed to heat. There is no added dairy, like milk and dark chocolates and is often found in specialty markets. Raw chocolate contains thousands of living enzymes which aid in healthy digestion as well as absorption of vitamins and minerals. While dark chocolate is famous for its varies health benefits, raw chocolate is actually healthier, and fresher. It contains no added sugar and is more processed.
