I just purchased your cacao butter (16oz) and the package that came doesn't say it is indeed raw. the picture on Amazon says "raw". Is is raw?

I'm not an expert and I'm not sure if I would know the difference between "raw" and "not raw". The Tisano cocao butter is 100% organic with no other ingrediants. At the top of the bag it says, "Tisano's natural, non-deoderized cocoa butter is cold pressed at lowest possible temperature and is perfect for making homemade chocolates, sauces and artisanal skin care". It comes in irregular shaped chunks that look like they were broken up from a large chunk. Most chunk sizes are about 2"x1" and smaller.

Local producers here in WV warm honey to around body temp to package it. I can't swear it is totally raw, but it appears to be heated some for packaging. We love its flavor. I have one bottle that has crystalized just like what I buy from my neighbor does.

The 1 lb. of raw cacoa powder that I purchased was from Silk Road, so if the 2 lb. package is also in the raw form, I would assume it is the same. It is very tasty.

I am not sure what you mean by "raw" in regards to this product. I don't think it's cooked. I would contact the manufacturer.

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.

Btw, I do Not see where this is Organic Butter! It does say Natural, but that does Not mean Organic by a long shot..

I use this product and am very happy with it. The best I have tried. I looked at their website and have see no reason to be wary of the product. I have tried other brands and taste and texture of the cacao was poor. Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for asking! Joyfuel Cacao Powder is produced by using natural cold-pressing methods without solvents or chemicals to ensure all nutrients remain intact. Unlike cocoa, it is not roasted at high temperatures, rather, it is sun-dried. It is also relatively unprocessed and contains no sugar or cocoa butter. Roasting reduces the enzyme content of cocoa beans, thus lowering nutritional value. Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans, preserving enzymes and removing fat. What to expect? If you are trying raw cacao for the first time you'll need to make some adjustments, and here is why. Cocoa is sweeter, lighter, and more refined because it is highly processed. When trying cacao, you will notice it has a darker, more bitter taste, which is natural to chocolate. If you are used to the taste of cocoa (which has added sweetener already), experiment with the right amount of your favorite sweetener to suit your tastes.

The package describes it as certified organic, non GMO, raw, vegan, made from premium Criollo cacao beans from Ecuador with minimal low-temperature processing and with no sugars or fillers. There would have to be some sort of processing involved in making cacao beans into cacao powder. Alkalinizing--I don't know, but it doesn't seem so. What I do know is that this is really good stuff!

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.htmlI found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code.Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

Coco butter is an off white. Not a true white. I haven't ever heard that it was yellow. Coconut is an off white, I would think that the butter no matter whether it is new or not is that color. I am on the second I ordered and after a year it still hasn't changed color from what it was originally.

this product contains raw cacao only. i found this at raw-living-food-success.com: "Contrary to popular opinion, cacao is a poor source of caffeine. A typical sample of raw chocolate nibs or cacao beans will yield anywhere from zero caffeine to 1,000 parts per million of caffeine (less than 1/20th of the caffeine present in coffee)."

it doesn't say raw specifically on the container. it says "unrefined" and cold-pressed"

It seems Nutiva no longer offers a "raw" option, however it is "unrefined, cold-pressed, virgin" very similar, here is a link to the unavailable Nutiva raw http://amzn.com/B003J4R9DK
