Owned by famed three-Michelin-star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Catalonia, Casa Cacao adopts a sustainable, bean-to-bar approach to making their chocolates. All cacao beans are carefully selected from South American countries as well as The Dominican Republic and India, and arrives at Casa Cacao's workshops in Spain, where they are then sorted by hand, roasted, cracked and winnowed, then combined with organic cane sugar and cocoa butter, before the conching process begins for a minimum of 48 hours. The result is velvety smooth chocolates that highlight the different flavours and aromas of cacao from different regions. What's more, once the cacao beans have been roasted and cracked, the discarded shells are then processed and made into cacao paper that's used to wrap Casa Cacao's chocolate bars.
