* Moved to New York for development. “My raw chocolate” made using Bean to Bar method*
The development of “I, Raw Chocolate” came about when the CEO of Croc Up Co., Ltd., who suffers from atopic dermatitis and is allergic to chocolate, wanted to make chocolate that children suffering from atopic dermatitis could also eat, so he started studying cacao. is. When I lived in New York, I remembered that there was chocolate that didn’t make you itch when you ate it, so I looked it up and found out that it was “Raw Chocolate”.
When I went to Brooklyn, New York with a chocolatier and asked him to tell me his secrets, I found out that he had a chocolate bar called “Raw Chocolate”.
“Chocolate” contains no allergens that cause itching that occur during roasting, does not use vegetable oils that also contain allergens, and does not use additives such as emulsifiers or preservatives.It also contains vitamins and minerals that are normally destroyed by heat. It turns out that chocolate retains more nutrients that are good for the body than regular chocolate, including ingredients that stimulate large amounts of the hormone phenylethylamine, which is secreted in the brain during love, without being lost in the heat. (In ancient South America, cacao was used as a medicine.)
Based on what I learned in New York, “I, Raw Chocolate” was developed. Allergens vary from person to person, so we cannot say that “even people with atopic dermatitis can eat this”, but we
manufacture our products with that in mind.
All 8 types of “I, raw chocolate”
In addition, the Bean to Bar method is a method in which a chocolatier carries out the entire process from sorting the cacao beans, peeling the shells, roasting, crushing, controlling temperature, and molding the beans to commercialization.
Although it takes time and effort, our aim is to bring out the flavor and characteristics of each cacao bean to the fullest and provide the best chocolate possible. “My Raw Chocolate” is made only with cacao beans and cane sugar without using any additives, and you can enjoy the rich aroma of cacao and its smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture.
