desertcart.com : Sevenhills Organics Criollo Cacao Powder 500g, certified organic by the Soil Association : Coconut Oils : Grocery & Gourmet Food Review: Bien producto - Buen producto Review: Best Choice for Low Levels in Heavy Metals, Given Availability - Great product. I've done extensive research before choosing to go with one product for long-term use. I don't use it for baking, but daily consumption for the benefits of flavonoids and phenols (especially Epicatechins and Procyanidins). Pros: - For a cocoa powder, this is as little fat (both saturated and unsaturated) as it gets. - As low in sugar as it gets. - Raw and unalkalized (non-dutched), so the anti-oxidants should be as intact as possible. - I believe that the most restrictive regulations on heavy metals (Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, and Arsenic) in the world is California, then followed by E.U. The rest of the U.S. nor Canada has set specific maximum levels for cocoa products. I have contacted Sevenhills and was assured by them that their products sold on desertcart (Canada) have also gone through the same rigorous testing (by E.U. import authorities and their in-house testing). - Great price, especially when comparing with alternatives shipped in from the U.S. ('Reserveage CocoaWell True Energy' and 'CocoaVia Cocoa Powder'), which have been tested once for heavy metals by ConsumerLab.com (results were good) but do not have government regulations by the U.S. to ensure that such levels stay that way. - Mixes better than I have expected for a non-dutched cocoa powder. (Note: I am not saying it mixes better than other non-dutched cocoa powders, since I have no experiences with others). Things To Note: - As mentioned, this powder is raw, unsweetened, and non-dutched, hence it does not taste as much like chocolate as other cocoa powder products made for baking. I do not consider this a negative, because this is exactly the way I want my cocoa powder to be. Based on other reviews, it appears that some people even prefer this product's taste for baking. - This is a UK company. If the UK leaves the E.U., they might no longer be tested by E.U. import authority's regulations for heavy metals.

Best Choice for Low Levels in Heavy Metals, Given Availability
Great product. I've done extensive research before choosing to go with one product for long-term use.

The rest of the U.S. nor Canada has set specific maximum levels for cocoa products. I have contacted Sevenhills and was assured by them that their products sold on Amazon (Canada) have also gone through the same rigorous testing (by E.U. import authorities and their in-house testing). - Great price, especially when comparing with alternatives shipped in from the U.S. ('Reserveage CocoaWell True Energy' and 'CocoaVia Cocoa Powder'), which have been tested once for heavy metals by ConsumerLab.com (results were good) but do not have government regulations by the U.S. to ensure that such levels stay that way. - Mixes better than I have expected for a non-dutched cocoa powder.

Tastes Great and Lasts long
I really enjoyed this product. I liked the taste of the cocao, it tasted authentic and not too bitter at all. I also like that it is a fair trade item. I only wish I could purchase it in the amount of 1 kg. I will continue to order it!

Great product, good quality and value
Great product, good quality and value. I also like the packaging as it is relatively easy to get all the cacao out without it sticking to the interior. For this reason, I would choose this over Kiva's cacao.
