Eliminating additives and keeping processing to a minimum makes Kapakapa a simple food that is true to its raw ingredients - carob, cocoa powder and cocoa liquor. Careful management during preparation means we don't have to subject our product to high temperatures treatments or intensive processing. This means you taste what you eat, and you eat what you taste. We do this for three reasons:

• The less a food is processed, the less likely it is to be stripped of its natural goodness, and most food additives are not good for you.

• Highly sweetened, flavoured or salted foods can leave you immediately wanting more or feeling out of balance. Part of enjoying food is feeling good after you have eaten it. The sweeteness, richness and flavour of Kapakapa are the natural qualities of its raw ingredients, maintaining the connection between food, flavour and nutrition.

• We believe real food tastes better
