Choosing The Correct Appellation

There’s not complete agreement on when to use the terms cacao and cocoa respectively.

Makers of raw (unroasted) or less processed cacao bean products often use the word cacao rather than cocoa, which may imply that they’re more natural & healthy products.

  • Cocoa ~ Processed
  • Cacao ~ Raw
