Anyone know if this is Criollo variety Cacao powder?

Dear Eric... As Criollo is grown of Spanish origin, it is possible that this Silk Road Cocoa is of that variety. However, since only 5% of the Cocoa market is Criollo, I would find it not likely. This variety often has undertones of Vanilla, Tobacco, or other unique flavors. I do not find any unusual flavors in this Cocoa. I am however, very satisfied with the results and quality of this Cocoa. It is beautifully deep and dark with a fine texture. We use a lot of it for the medicinal qualities in Raw-Paleo-Vegan desserts and find it to be very effective, particularly when mixed with Ginger, Turmeric, and other stomach-calming, ailment-relieving spices. Try the traditional Spanish recipes which use Cocoa as a spice in main dishes, rather than in sugary desserts. Or use it in Raw desserts with Raw Honey.

There is NO name on it other than ANTHONY'S. One sticker (X000FHFHQB) is stuck over the original label X000FHFQB). "Premium Organic Coconut Flour"? me thinks not. Bought on Amazon so it must be from the USA.

I believe so. The texture and quality is good, however, it does not smell like chocolate. There is a new kind of cocoa being grown in South America and it is so mild it doesn't have the trademark scent.

I don't know what the vendor they use, but all I know is I purchased the product & I am a raw foodist & this stuff is some of the best cacao that I have ever had & I for one will order more. The pound that I got I have had for a year & still fresh & still taste wonderful in just about everything. There is nothing but what they say in it. I trust them. There's more true organics coming from foreign country's then here in the USA & they will lie to you & tell you that these people are shipping in tainted products, but most of the tainted products that I have ever had was from my own country which is the USA. I purchase raw organic herbs from all over the world & this company has a wonderful fresh raw organic cacao powder that has nothing in it, but what it is suppose to & that is cacao, no sugar, no fillers, no additives, no anti caking. I love it!

It is raw Cacao powder, which is not heated as much as cocoa powder in processing so the antioxidants are not destroyed. It is also much less bitter. We make our own chocolates with this and they require very little sweetener. It costs more that Cocoa, but it is healthier and very delicious!

http://www.thesavory.com/food/difference-between-cocoa-and-cacao.htmlSo, "cacao" basically refers to the raw form of chocolate. The cacao bean is what any type of chocolate (cocoa powder) is initially made of. Actual cacao beans are found inside the fruit of the tree in fleshy, oval-shaped pods. The beans are harvested, fermented, and dried.

This cactus mix is NOT made by Scott's. It is made by Espoma. Does not contain Miracle Grow, as far as I could ascertain from their website. That's why it's labeled "organic". I've been very happy with the product.

Maybe you mean cocoa powder that makes from cacao beans, another very healthy and nutritious food, but different from coconut?

What you are looking for isn't on the package. Sorry I can't help you out with this any more than with your question. If it helps, this cocoa powder is incredible. I highly recommend you try it. It is worth every penny.

This is a quote from the website SlaveFreeChocolate.org. "Because organic farms are subject to an independent monitoring system that checks labor practices, organic chocolate is also considered slave free." If this is true, then this cacao powder should be slave free since it is Certified Organic.

I bought it as it was advertised as gluten free, however, there is no such labeling on the bag. It states "Organic cocoa powder". I have a strong gluten sensitivity and have not experienced any problems since using it.

Cocoa is the anglicised version of cacao. While some purveyors of this commodity try to differentiate one word from the other, they are in fact one in the same.If it adds to your confusion somewhat, even the label affixed to my purchase refers to its contents as both cocoa and cacao. That said, I have been very pleased with the quality of this ingredient and would hope that you enjoy it in your cooking.
