The label does not address any heating procedure. It states that the beans are carefully fermented and dried.

Hi again, it's cocoa so it has been heated. I read if it's raw it would be cacao.

ON side of the can there is information - this statement a small part - The beans are harvested at theperfect point of ripeness, then carefully fermented and dried to maximise the smooth, complex flavours of this delicious cocoa. Please try and read the info on can to a sure that u are comfortable before buying.

Hello,It doesn't say on the package if it was heated or not but it says it has an acidity regulator of potassium carbonate. That and cocoa are the two ingredients . Not sure if this answers your question. It also is organic and fair trade. It's very good.

All cocoa is heated. Only cacao is raw and can be purchased in health food stores. This article explains:http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/cacao-vs-cocoa-what-you-need-to-know/

Yes it is. I went on line and read the reviews. One of them stated that it is non-hydrogenated. Also cold pressed. No heat, raw filtered and unpasteurized.

I don't see anything on the packaging that identifies whether it has been heat treated or not.

A refined butter is treated to remove more "impurities".The title of this product claims "raw" but I do not believe that is really the case for the extremely grainy product I received.

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.

I hope not. Wouldn't that make it not raw or natural?? Sorry that I cannot answer this better. Did you write the seller?

You could do that. I just kept it in the refrig and it was fine for 4 months due to the salt content. Just ate the last of it 2 days ago. Still had good texture, though some of the skinnier ends were dry and had to be cut away.

I put the whole thing in dishwasher on top rack every time I use it. I want to know it is sanitized after piercing raw meat. It works great!

I wish I knew, I am sorry that I don't. I have not exposed it to extreme heat, but I did wash it in my dishwasher on the top rack without a problem. Other than that, it has been in and out of the fridge without a problem.

No, it is pasteurized. I don't think there are any that can be sold as raw, unpasteurized. I've been very happy using the product.

I don't know for sure but I would imagine that it has been heated in some fashion as it is completely smooth (like a molasses consistency)

I don't know. I finished both my containers and disposed of them. If you already have bought it and cannot find the info on the container, then just go by how fresh it is. I had no problem with freshness.

I hsve had mine for about a month. It is still fresh. In addition to sealing the package I also seal the package inside of a ziplock bag for double protection.

I received mine the same way. I used it anyway. My concern was if the product is fresh or not or how long it will remain fresh.
