Changing the chocolate paradigm

Traditional mainstream chocolate makers have adultered chocolate, incorporating unnecessary and harmful ingredients for our bodies and the environment. We're here to change that. And you?

Why Do Heavy Metals in Cacao Matter?

Cacao can naturally contain trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Long-term exposure to these elements can raise health concerns, which is why understanding their levels in food matters.

At U-Chocolate, we believe great cacao deserves careful testing. That's why our organic cacao nibs undergo independent laboratory analysis for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. We share our results so you can make informed choices about the cacao you enjoy.

We're committed to growing and crafting exceptional cacao products and chocolate. Only the best chocolate can be created in ideal conditions, which is why sustainability is at the forefront of what we do.

FAQs

What are cacao nibs?

Small pieces of cacao bean. We ferment and sun-dry our beans at origin, then slow-roast and crack them into crunchy nibs.

Are your cacao nibs tested for heavy metals?

Yes. An independent laboratory tests our cacao using ICP-MS. Per 8 g serving: lead under 0.2 mcg and cadmium under 3 mcg, both below California's Prop 65 daily limits. Arsenic and mercury not detected. Lab certificate available on request.

Are they kosher, gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. They are USDA Organic, kosher certified and vegan, and they are made on a line dedicated to foods free from the top 9 allergens, including gluten and dairy.

How can I use them?

Sprinkle them on smoothie bowls, yogurt and granola, or fold them into cookies, muffins and other baking for a crunchy cacao bite.

Where does your cacao come from?

From our own certified organic farm in the Peruvian Amazon. We grow, harvest, ferment and sun-dry the beans ourselves, then roast and crack them into nibs.
