Curiosity
Cacao fruits are cut from the trees using machetes. After that, the flesh and the seeds are scooped out and left to ferment for about a week. This step is crucial to allow the beans to develop their typical chocolate taste.
The flesh’s sugars become slightly acidic and enzymes carry out the lysis of proteins, thus giving cacao a more characteristic taste. After fermentation, cacao beans are dried carefully, then carried to a factory where they are cleaned, sieved - in order to remove any debris - and selected.
History
The cacao tree originated in South America’s fertile forests. Its fame is due not only to its unique taste, but also to its therapeutical and nutritional properties. The cacao tree’s seeds are dispersed by monkeys and other animals trying to break them in order to eat their sweet flesh. Plants need to grow for about 6 years before they can produce seeds, then they can live up to 100 years. After pollination, it takes some 6 months for the fruit to ripen fully.
Cacao trees were already cultivated in Mexico in 1000 B.C. Cacao beans were used by the Mayans and Aztecs who blended them with water. They also served as a bitter spice or as an ingredient for doughs and bread. Cacao beans were also used as money and in religious ceremonies because of their significant importance for the indigenous cultures of South America. In 1500, when the Spanish arrived, drinks made from Cacao beans were exported toEurope, where they were sweetened and heated in order to improve the blend. Cocoa beans were later used for healing purposes.

Storage
You can store organic cacao nibs in cool, dry places away from heat and moisture. Here are 4 useful tips:
- The best way to store organic cacao nibs is in a refrigerated environment. Nuturally organic cacao nibs can also be stored at room temperature during the winter season due to low temperatures. During summer, however, it is advisable to store the product in the refrigerator or in the coolest possible environment as increased temperatures could encourage decay.
- The ideal container for the storage of organic cacao nibs is glass. Indeed, because of its composition it is impervious to chemical agents and gases, and, as it has excellent insulation properties, it holds the initial temperature longer than other materials. It is even better if the glass is coloured: using coloured glass blocks the entry of certain wavelengths of light (including ultraviolet), and thus certain nutritional and organoleptic characteristics remain unaltered.
- The type of closure of the container is also important as an airtight cap ensures that the food is protected from excessive contact with oxygen that can lead to lipid oxidation and encourage the growth of aerobic bacteria.
- The best kind of storage environment is one which is well ventilated because ventilating the premises keeps internal humidity under control, which otherwise could escape from windows, thereby guaranteeing the right balance to lessen the onset of mould.
