Willie's Cacao 100% Rio Caribe Cacao is a true cook's ingredient, crafted for both sweet and savoury culinary creations. With its classic nutty flavour profile, this pure cacao delivers depth and richness to desserts like truffles, cakes, brownies, and mousses with notes of caramel and toffee. In savoury dishes, it adds complexity and shine to gravies, casseroles, bolognese, and risottos—use it as you would salt or pepper. For drinks, whisk with hot water for authentic Aztec-style hot chocolate or blend into smoothies for a rich, energizing boost.

Made in small batches at low temperatures over up to 21 days, this bean-to-bar chocolate preserves the delicate flavour notes of single-estate Venezuelan cacao. Entirely plant based and free from dairy, sugar, soya, gluten, and palm oil, it’s a pure, natural ingredient for conscious cooks. Sourced through Direct Trade by cacao farmer Willie Harcourt-Cooze, this chocolate supports sustainable farming practices and small grower communities.

Willie’s Cacao, founded in 2008 as the UK’s first artisan bean-to-bar chocolate factory, is renowned for its award-winning range used by top chefs including Yotam Ottolenghi. Each bar is made from 100% natural ingredients, with every step—from roasting to conching—done in-house in Devon, England.
