Functional cocoa powder with mushroom extracts and fibre

NoordCode Power Cocoa combines polyphenol-rich, raw organic Criollo cocoa with powerful mushroom extracts from KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms. Maca, Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla and inulin round out the formula for a functional and tasty cocoa powder. Delicious as a cocoa drink and excellent as an addition to (sweet) dishes.

High-quality, minimally processed Criollo cocoa

Criollo cocoa is known for its unique, rich flavour which is held as the highest standard of quality. Only 5% of the world's cocoa comes from Criollo cocoa trees. Its production and processing is completely focused on maintaining its outstanding flavour. This unique product is therefore hugely popular among cocoa lovers.

Bean-to-bar production

NoordCode uses cocoa powder made according to the bean-to-bar concept. Bean-to-bar means that the chocolate producer controls all processing steps from the cocoa (bean) to the chocolate bar. The producer has a direct relationship with cocoa farmers and pays a fair price for cocoa. This allows farmers to focus on producing superior cocoa sustainably.

The cocoa powder in Power Cacao comes from Peru. NoordCode opts for maximum polyphenol retention and minimising the risk of mould growth when processing.

Maximum polyphenol retention through minimal processing

Cocoa beans are naturally rich in polyphenols and other beneficial compounds. The usual processing of cocoa beans into cocoa powder reduces the amount of polyphenols. Especially when roasting and alkalising cocoa, many polyphenols are lost.

NoordCode opts for maximum preservation of polyphenols by not roasting and alkalising the cocoa. This allows the cocoa to retain its natural flavour profile, which is very different from 'normal' cocoa powder. Raw cocoa has a lighter colour and more bitter flavours, which come from the polyphenols. You also taste some sour flavours, because the cocoa is not alkalised. This together gives the cocoa powder more depth and a unique flavour.

Concentrated mushroom extracts from KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms

KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms is a Finnish producer of potent mushroom extracts. They use the fruiting bodies of organically grown or wild-picked mushrooms, where most of the useful substances can be found. Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) gently breaks open the mushroom cells to extract as many useful substances from the mushrooms as possible. The extract of water and alcohol is then sprayed into powder containing the useful mushroom substances. KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms' powder extracts are a perfect addition to NoordCode Power Cocoa in terms of function and flavour.
