Our Chocolate
Cacao (from which all chocolate is made) is one of the most antioxidant rich foods on the planet, more than pomegranate, red wine, or green tea. Cacao is rich in magnesium, a necessary nutrient for heart health, which many people are deficient in. A natural antidepressant, cacao contains anadamide "the bliss molecule" and phenethylamine which triggers the release of endorphins. Raw chocolate opens the heart, and brings warm feelings of positivity, creativity, and joy.
Our Story
The first time I made chocolate, it was perfectly tempered. I didn’t use any tempering methods, not even a thermometer. My friend Adriana, a raw food wizard, said “no one gets this, it doesn’t happen for anybody”, and I read that as a sign. The more people that tasted the chocolate, the more I heard things like “this is amazing” and “this is the best chocolate I have ever had in my whole life, not only raw, the best chocolate period”. I would hear this from total strangers and I knew I needed to share the love.
Chocolate in its tempering process forms crystals. There are five different crystallizations. Crystals hold intentions. I began making an altar every time I made chocolate and praying before starting the process. One day, I was in a rush and didn’t make the altar. Nothing went right. That was when I realized that the altar was an essential component of Moonlight Chocolate, and the chocolate does not get created without the purest intentions.
Much love,
