Organic Raw Cacao Paste/Liquor by Terrasoul Superfoods, 1 Pound

Tom: I love it! I add a chunk to boiling water in a coffee mug, stir for a minute till it dissolves, then either drink it as-is or add a little milk/cream, cinnamon or peppermint flavoring.

Gerard: Use a cutting board and chef’s knife to dice up each square piece. Add to yogurt, fruit mix, coffee, peanut butter, etc. Delicious.

SK: I LOVE this product....it's EXACTLY what I was looking for, minimally processed and TRUE cacao. For people who are new to TRUE cacao, just be aware that if you're accustomed to "American-style" Hot chocolate....and/or "Processed with Alkali" Hot Chocolate with tons of sugar....and you're expecting this to taste exactly like that, you're going to be disappointed.....as you can see from a few reviews bashing the taste of this product.
There is NOTHING wrong with this product...it tastes EXACTLY the way TRUE cacao tastes....so if your taste buds are looking for a replica of "American style" Hot chocolate, which has had all the life processed out of it....then this product is probably NOT for you, and I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
On the otherhand, if you're looking for a TRUE cacao, which has been minimally processed and healthier and MOST IMPORTANTLY, tastes INCREDIBLE, then this is the product for you.
This Cacao is more akin to the type of Hot Chocolate that you find in the Caribbean and Mexico....so it tastes different from the American style Hot chocolate....but in my opinion, it tastes SOOOO much better, and is in fact, SOOOO much healthier for you too.

Patricia: It melts well and tastes wonderful. I’ve broken up the chunks smaller to add to brownie batter. Today I mixed 1/2 cup melted chunks with 1/4 cup confectioners Swerve sugar replacement, and nuts, to make fudge. Delicious.

It was about a week before I could pick up this package, and I was concerned about the chalky, light brown appearance of the chunks. But that was only on the surface - inside they were dark brown. The seller informed me that on the outside they get lighter after being scuffed against each other a while. That seems to be so, as there’s certainly nothing wrong with the aroma or flavor (as there would be if stale, rancid etc.)

Anita Knapp: I was reluctant to try this based on some of the reviews, but the price was right to go ahead and give it a try. This has exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have imagined. The bag arrived sealed and packaged well, but after the safety seal was torn off, the bag would not zip closed for storage. No big deal. I just placed the bag inside another zip bag--problem solved.

This was my first experience purchasing cacao paste, so I have nothing to compare it to and didn't know what to expect. As soon as I tore off the safety seal, the smell of this cacao came pouring out of the bag. Heavenly! A deep, rich cocoa scent with a hint of a fruity smell (similar to banana, maybe?). I specifically bought this for drinking, so I shaved an ounce (measured using a kitchen scale) into a large mug and then added some cayenne pepper, a pinch of salt, and boiling water straight from my kettle. I did not add any sweetener, nor did I find any was needed. If you appreciate dark chocolate, you probably would enjoy this without any sweetener added. This is SOOO much better than dark chocolate, though.

I actually expected this might be quite bitter based on what I've read about...
