At AlterNativa3 we offer organic and fair trade products. Today we explain the differences between pure cocoa powders: premium and defatted.
Pure cocoa of Central American origin: quality and tradition
Our pure organic cocoas come from Central America, a key region for sustainable cocoa cultivation. They both come from certified organic and fair trade agriculture, but feature different characteristics to suit different uses and preferences.
Central American origins: the richness of ancestral cocoa
All the cocoa we produce in AlterNativa3 comes from Central AmericaThe region is the cradle of cocoa and a territory with a long tradition of cocoa cultivation.
In this region, the climatic conditions, altitude and respect for agro-ecological practices make it possible to obtain excellent quality cocoas, with a complex aromatic profile and well-defined natural notes.
In addition, we work directly with cooperatives that protect both biodiversity and the rights of producers.

AlterNativa3's premium pure organic cocoa is perfect for those looking for a richer, creamier taste experience.
Properties and uses of pure premium cocoa
Our pure premium cocoa is ideal for those looking for an intense and authentic experience. It retains a higher cocoa butter content (around 20-22%), which gives it a more intense taste. a silky texture and a deep, lingering flavour, which clearly stands out in tasting for its greater sensory richness.
As the cocoa is minimally processed, preserves all its nutritional properties, including antioxidants and minerals such as magnesium, potassium and iron.
