Plenty of cocoa products carry more than cocoa: “processed with alkali,” added sugar, milk powders, thickeners, “natural flavors.”
Turn over a bag of Daily Cacao and you’ll find two words: Organic Cacao. No fillers, thickeners, emulsifiers, or artificial flavors. Ever.
Much of the cocoa on supermarket shelves is “Dutch-processed”: washed in an alkaline solution to soften bitterness and darken the color. The trade-off is that alkalizing can strip away a large share of cacao’s naturally occurring flavanols.
Daily Cacao is non-alkalized. It keeps its deep, complex flavor, and the fiber, iron and magnesium nature put there.
For centuries, cacao has been at the heart of ceremony and gathering. Ours is made in that spirit: minimally processed and never alkalized, so it keeps its full-bodied flavor and natural richness.
Make it part of your day. Whisk a spoonful into warm water or plant milk, take a breath, and savor a quiet morning cup, a pause between meetings, or a moment of calm before bed.
Rainforest AllianceWe source our cacao directly from farmer co-ops in Ecuador. No brokers, no middlemen, just long-term relationships with the families who grow it.
It comes from Rainforest Alliance Certified family farms that practice regenerative agroforestry and are free from child labor. What’s better than fair trade? Direct trade.
Our cacao is tested safe for heavy metals. Elements commits to batch-level third-party testing as standard operating procedure, with results made publicly available. Transparency is not a marketing exercise. It is the floor, not the ceiling, of what you deserve to know about what you eat.
Use it anywhere a recipe calls for cocoa. Because it’s non-alkalized, Daily Cacao brings a deeper, fruitier chocolate flavor to everything it touches.
Whole cacao, kept whole. Every serving naturally delivers:
From the very beginning, cacao has been the heart of Elements. Every bar and every cup of hot chocolate we make starts with this same ceremonial grade cacao from Ecuador.
Daily Cacao is that foundation, on its own. No sweeteners, no blends, nothing to get in the way. Just pure cacao you can turn into whatever your day needs: a quiet morning ritual, a weekend bake, a mug to share.
The best rituals begin with simple, real ingredients.

There’s no single regulated definition. For us, it means high-quality, minimally processed whole cacao: single origin, non-alkalized and free of additives, chosen for flavor and purity so it can be enjoyed on its own.
Both come from the cacao bean. “Cocoa” usually describes more heavily processed powder, often alkalized. We call ours cacao because it is minimally processed and never alkalized.
Many cocoa powders are “Dutch-processed,” treated with an alkaline solution to reduce bitterness and darken the color. That process can strip out much of cacao’s naturally occurring flavanols. Ours skips it entirely.
Absolutely. Use it anywhere a recipe calls for natural cocoa powder. Natural cacao is slightly more acidic than Dutch-process cocoa, so it pairs best with recipes that use baking soda.
No. Daily Cacao is 100% cacao with 0g sugar. Sweeten it however you like, or not at all.
