Dear customers, in the event of very hot weather, the dispatch of your order may be delayed. We want your chocolates to arrive in top quality.
For this reason, we also do not allow delivery to Z-BOX during the summer.
Thank you for your understanding!

You can eat cocoa beans with their skins, but when we make chocolate from them, we have to peel them first. Otherwise, the chocolate wouldn't melt on your tongue :-) Cocoa...
Cocoa beans, both raw and roasted, are the essential raw material for producing the finest dark chocolate and are an excellent source of antioxidants and minerals. These fermented fruits of the cacao tree contain complex flavors ranging from fruity to earthy notes. In our e-shop, you will find carefully selected varieties for home processing, baking, and direct consumption.
Discover the magic of processing real beans and explore high-percentage chocolates that are derived from them. High-quality raw materials turn every creation into an unforgettable experience full of authentic aromas.
When choosing the right beans, their variety, origin, and processing method play a major role. If you desire a deeper understanding of flavors, try our guided chocolate tasting, which will teach you how to recognize individual notes. Also, consider whether you prefer the raw state to preserve all nutrients or the roasted variant for a more intense crunch.
Each variety and processing method brings a specific flavor profile and culinary use. For lovers of pure nature, we offer purely plant-based products without any animal ingredients.

Roast them in a preheated oven at 120 to 130 °C for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir the beans regularly during the process. Once they start to smell and the skin is easy to remove, take them out and let them cool down quickly.
The Criollo variety makes up only a fraction of global production; it is rare, delicate, and has low bitterness with fruity notes. Forastero is more robust, makes up the majority of production, has a distinct earthy taste, and higher bitterness.
You can purchase high-quality fermented beans in specialized e-shops with artisanal chocolate, such as Míšina čokoláda. Always choose suppliers who state the country of origin and the variety.
They are rich in antioxidants, magnesium, iron, and theobromine. They support good mood, heart health, lower blood pressure, and provide the body with natural energy without caffeine.
You must first roast, peel, and crush the beans into nibs. Then, grind them in a melanger into a fine mass, add cocoa butter, and optionally a sweetener. Finally, conch and temper the mixture.
You can add raw beans to morning smoothies, homemade muesli, or blend them with dates and nuts into healthy energy balls without heat treatment.
You can consume roasted beans on their own as a crunchy superfood, or coat them in spices or dip them in 100% chocolate without added sugar.
