We have succeeded in preserving the naturally present flavanols in the cacao bean without compromising on the taste. We have developed organic certified ChocoNature Acti-Cacao, a special process to preserve a maximum of flavanols present in the cacao bean. Preserving health benefits and taste. We developed a special process where in the cacao flavanols, naturally part 
of the cacao bean, are retained to a maximum of 80% during the process of making chocolate. In the traditional production process, a significant reduction of the amount of cacao flavanols occurs inevitably. Even more than 70% of the cacao flavanols are lost.
Our special process prevents this. Why is our chocolate called "The Wellness Chocolate"? Our chocolate is hand-crafted to be good for your health and well-being. The fact that it is not processed, allows for the active flavanols to remain strong in the chocolate. There are many health benefits to eating raw cacao, and at Choconat we use a special process.We call this special process : Acti-Cacao.The full process passes through several stages: from harvesting and processing of the cacao bean to the production of chocolate. The end result is a particularly effective product: cacao and chocolate. This combines excellent taste with the guarantee of a very high natural cacao flavanol content. As a result, it offers great health benefits. It is a special bean treatment The ChocoNat Acti-Cacao. The process starts with the cacao pods that are wild in the forest. Together with the cacao harvesters, we investigated ways of growing, harvesting and treating the beans in such a way that a maximum of cacao flavanols, taste and aromas, in the beans, are preserved. These are also maintained at every step throughout the entire process, from cacao beans to chocolate. The end result is a particularly effective product: ChocoNat™ cacao and chocolate. This combines excellent taste with the guarantee of a very high natural cacao flavanol content, which provides results that are hard to imagine for such a delicious tasting delicacy!
 

Compared to standard dark cook chocolate, the ChocoNat Acti-Cacao contain 7 times more flavanols.
