Description
Criollo cacao mass 100% pure 25 kg block
This Pure Cacao Mass — 100% Criollo (25 kg Block) embodies the essence of fine chocolate craftsmanship. Produced from heritage Criollo cacao beans, the most prized and aromatic of all cacao varieties, it delivers a deep, rounded flavour profile with natural sweetness, gentle acidity, and delicate fruit and floral notes (Criollo cacao mass 100% pure 25 kg block).
Sourced from smallholder cooperatives in the Peruvian Amazon, each batch is stone-ground at low temperature to preserve the bean’s natural cocoa butter and volatile aromatic compounds. The result is a smooth, melt-in-mouth texture ideal for professional chocolate-making, confectionery, and pastry applications.
The Criollo variety, representing less than 5% of global cacao production, is renowned for its mild tannins and fine balance. Its aromatic complexity features layers of dried fruits, vanilla, honey, and roasted nuts, offering exceptional depth without bitterness — making it the perfect base for bean-to-bar chocolate, pralines, ganaches, and premium coatings.
This cacao mass contains 100% pure cocoa solids — no added sugar, emulsifiers, or flavouring. The naturally occurring cocoa butter (≈52%) ensures fluidity and a clean melt. Thanks to its purity, it can be easily blended with your chosen sugar, milk powders, or flavour infusions to create a wide range of chocolate products.
Each 25 kg solid block is cast, tempered, and vacuum-sealed in food-grade film, then boxed for safe handling and long shelf life (24 months). The block format minimizes waste and simplifies melting for continuous production lines or small-batch workshops.
Applications include:
- Bean-to-bar chocolate production
- Pastry and dessert fabrication
- Gourmet truffle and praline fillings
- Nutraceutical or wellness foods (100% cacao energy bars)
Laboratory-tested for purity, heavy metal safety, and microbiological compliance, this cacao mass meets EU and Swiss standards for professional food production.
For importers and distributors, DR-Import ensures consistent supply through controlled cold-chain shipping and warehouse stock in Zürich. The cacao is classified under HS Code 1803.10, with full traceability and origin certification available on request.
