I ordered thinking it was powdered. But it’s raw cacao butter by the look of it.** A: I use it as a hot chocolate drink, I firstly smash it to tiny pieces so it'll dissolve easier. I add usually about 50g to a mug, half fill with hot water then whisk with a small battery whisk, add a big teaspoon of honey because it's really bitter otherwise then top it up and melt in the honey. You can add coconut or almond milk if you want but not dairy as it's supposed to dull the effects. It works out as an expensive drink but it make me smile after I've drunk it so I don't mind. Enjoy **Q: Does this grind down easily into a powder ?** A: Hi, from my experience it does crumble very easily. I chop it up with a knife on a chopping board and get it into very small pieces and much of it goes quite powery. I imagine if you then used a pestle and mortar or a rolling pin it would completely go into a powder form. Hope this helps. I highly recommend this product. I drink cacao regularly and this is my go to one. **Q: Does this grind down easily into a powder ?** A: It does if you have a good grinder, much like a coffee grinder **Q: Is this unroasted?** A: Definitely raw and unroasted. This is very good, high quality ceremonial cacao. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ delicious *by J***O on 5 June 2026* I was recommended this stuff and it took me a while to find a product that didn't cost the earth and had the right credentials.
