Tested Quality
Our cacaos & spices are gifts of nature – and that's exactly how we want to treat them. Quality begins with the careful selection of our regions of origin, partners, and original fine cacao varieties that have preserved their own character and the power of their origin. Just as important is gentle manufacturing processing - from fermentation, through careful roasting, to conching into fine cacao mass. Our cacao remains as natural as possible throughout. Nothing is taken away and nothing is added. Quality also means transparency and knowing what's really in your cup. That's why we have every batch carefully tested in Germany and want to share the results openly with you.
Most Important Analysis Values of Our Cacaos
| Cacao | Cadmium (mg/kg) | Caffeine (mg/100g) | Theobromine (g/100g) | Magnesium (g/100g) | Zinc (mg/kg) | Iron (mg/kg) | Potassium (g/100g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart | 0,45 | 166 | 0,90 | 0,28 | 44,1 | 59,9 | 0,90 |
| Body | 0,56 | 108 | 1,06 | 0,31 | 44,6 | 46,3 | 1,00 |
| Flow | 0,13 | 121 | 0,93 | 0,23 | 40,3 | 44,4 | 0,86 |
| Aura | 0,30 | 158 | 0,87 | 0,34 | 40,2 | 58,4 | 0,88 |
| Roots | 0,37 | 191 | 0,98 | 0,34 | 47,5 | 202 | 1,03 |
The cadmium level is especially important to us. For cacao mass with a cacao content above 50%, the EU sets a maximum limit of 0.80 mg/kg under Regulation (EU) 2023/915. Our current values are well below this. Cadmium also occurs naturally in many other foods, such as sunflower seeds, mushrooms, or flaxseed.

All of our cacaos are 100% organically grown. The HEART Cacao and BODY Cacao varieties are already certified organic. Organic certification is planned for the other varieties. Our organic certification body's number is DE-ÖKO-044. You can view our current organic certificate here.
Even though our cacao can't be called raw cacao in the strict 42-degree sense, its especially gentle processing keeps it exceptionally natural and rich in its original plant compounds, aromas, and effects.
