Cacao Fruit Series - Another Cacao to Enjoy as Fruit

Godiva's "Cacao Fruit Series - Enjoying another cacao as a fruit" was born from the chocolatier Godiva's strong desire to maximize the potential of cacao and to let people enjoy a new cacao experience that is not chocolate. The new series was born from Godiva's strong desire to maximize the potential of cacao and to offer a new cacao experience that is more than chocolate.

Cacao is said to have ancient origins, having grown wild in Mexico during the Aztec civilization some 4,000 years ago. In the Inca Empire, it is said to have been a secret elixir of immortality drunk by kings, and even after it came to Europe, it was valued as an ingredient for beauty and health.

The white pulp called "cacao pulp" is a precious ingredient that accounts for only about 7% of a single cacao seed. In its country of origin, cacao is popular as a source of nutrition rich in calories and minerals, but it has been difficult to maintain stable quality in distribution and has not been readily available in the market. Thanks to recent technological developments, it is now finally available in Japan.

Pulp is an important nutrient essential for the fermentation of cacao beans, which determines the taste of chocolate. The cacao pulp is what gives chocolate its deep and rich flavor.
