The Sweet Miracle: From Bean to Bar at Cenu Cacao

Welcome to Cenu Cacao, where the journey of chocolate begins with carefully selected cacao beans and ends with you savouring the exquisite taste of handcrafted chocolate. As the first "bean to bar" chocolate shop in the West Midlands, we take pride in our unique approach to chocolate making. Here’s how we turn raw cacao beans into the heavenly chocolates you love:

• Sourcing the Finest Cacao Beans: Our story begins in the organic lands of Venezuela and Panama, where we source fully-certified, naturally grown raw cacao beans. We only stock number one graded raw cacao beans. We ensure that our trades with cocoa farmers are absolutely fair.
• The "Bean to Bar" Process: Unlike most chocolate manufacturers who use pre-made cocoa liquor, we control every step of the chocolate-making process.
• Roasting: Each and every step, from sorting, roasting, cracking, winnowing, grounding, and conching to finely ageing the chocolate before chilling, is handled by us.
• Stone-Ground Goodness: After bringing the cacao beans to our shop in Royal Leamington Spa, UK, they are crushed in stone grinders.
• Crafting Individual Batches: We use traditional Aztec methods to make our chocolate, turning it into individual batches for our customers to enjoy right in front of them. This allows you to witness the sweet miracle of chocolate.
• No Palm Oil or Lecithin: You can rest assured that our chocolate doesn’t have even a hint of palm oil or Lecithin.
• Freshness Guaranteed: All our batches are pristine, and at the time you buy our chocolate, it is less than two weeks old.
  

At Cenu Cacao, we are deeply rooted in the artisanal value of chocolate making. Each step is handled with care, from sorting and roasting to cracking, winnowing, grinding, conching, and finely aging the chocolate before chilling. By doing everything ourselves, we present our customers with the purest and most well-made chocolate at their disposal.
