Sacred Chocolate® is organic, vegan, stone-ground raw chocolate. Truth, Love and Gratitude are the core of our methodology.
Sacred Chocolate was the Bronze Medal winner at the 2007 International San Francisco Chocolate Salon for best organic chocolate.
Sacred Chocolate was the proud winner of 'Best Organic or Fair Trade Chocolate' at the 2008 International San Francisco Chocolate Salon, and is destined to become the world's finest chocolate.
Similarly, Sacred Chocolate earned 1st place for “Best Organic Chocolate” at the 2008 LOS ANGELES LUXURY CHOCOLATE SALON (http://www.tastetv.com/sf-lasalon_awards08.html) as well as honorable mention for “Best Dark Chocolate”at the same event!
Besides winning awards in the cooked chocolate world, Sacred Chocolate is considered the Crème de la Crème of Raw Chocolate! In 2008, 2009, and 2010 we won Best of Raw in the Chocolate category, which was a people’s choice award voted on by over 2500 people!
One of our newest flavors, “INDIA SUNSET”, just won “most exotic chocolate” at the 2008 RAW SPIRIT FESTIVAL, and was recently given out as a gift to all of the 2009 EMMY NOMINEES!
Sacred Chocolate is certified ORGANIC (by CCOF), and VEGAN (by Vegan Action). Sacred Chocolate is purchased above FAIR TRADE STANDARDS. Sacred Chocolate is also PASS4KIDS approved! All of our chocolate is dairy/gluten/soy/CANE SUGAR FREE!
Sacred Chocolate uses Organic Maple Sugar (Glycemic Index of 55) for incredible flavor, eco-sustainability, and the ability to be certified VEGAN. Maple happens to contain relatively high amounts of the trace minerals zinc, manganese, and potassium. It also contains the antioxidants, Epicatechin (which is EXTREMELY HIGH in raw cacao) and Quercetin. It has recently been found to help in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes.
Most cane sugar contains BONE CHAR since bone char is used as a filtering agent in the cane sugar industry. Therefore, Sacred Chocolate NEVER contains processed white sugar from sugar cane.
(We also use Coconut Palm Sugar as a sweetener in some of our recipes -- Glycemic Index of 35!)
Sacred Chocolate also uses special sweeteners for those overcoming DIABETES! Our "Zero Pointe Mint" uses Organic Erythritol as a sweetener & our "Sun Sweet" uses Organic Inulin from Jerusalem Artichoke as a sweetener! Both of these sweeteners are considered to have a ZERO Glycemic Index!
Sacred Chocolate, LLC also manufactures other Raw Chocolate and Nut Butter products for other companies. For example, we manufacture those yummy chocolate brittles for Transition Nutrition under the brand name "DIVINE ORGANICS".
David Wolfe, author of NAKED CHOCOLATE (the "bible" of raw chocolate super food nutrition) and numerous other books on success and nutrition, and Sacred Steve, are the founders and creators of Sacred Chocolate, a very special and extremely unique chocolate. Our mission with Sacred Chocolate, LLC is multifold--to bring "Sacredness", Humility, and Consciousness back to the Food Manufacturing Industry, to create a product that is so special that it is actually a Sacrament and has that affect on people, and to begin by marrying EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR with EXCEPTIONAL NUTRITION in Sacred Chocolate! What better stepping stone is there with which to accomplish all of this other than Chocolate!?
What makes Sacred Chocolate so Sacred you may ask?
Steve Adler, AKA "Sacred Steve", an ordained Minister of Spiritis Church, prays over every batch of Sacred Chocolate! All the Oompa Loompas in the Sacred Chocolate Factory pray continuously that Manna actually materializes in the chocolate! Sacred Chocolate is imbued with Love, Gratitude, Peace, and all positive energies that help humanity grow and evolve in Love and Consciousness. Chocolate made with Positive Intention has been scientifically proven to be more elevating to our moods than chocolate which is not by the Noetic Sciences Institute (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17905358) !
Our goal on this level is to create the "Philosopher's Stone" of Chocolate! :-)
Besides that, all our chocolate is RAW (stone ground below 115 degrees F; however, some ingredients may exceed 115 degrees F while still on the farm) which maintains its super food properties naturally inherent in the raw cacao bean. For example, the raw bean has 4-5 times higher antioxidants than even pomegranate and acai! Depending on Temperature and Time, Roasting destroys the vast majority of these anti-oxidants--typically up to an 80% to 90% loss. We have backed these claims up with our own independent laboratory analysis.
As a bean to bar chocolate maker, we have decided to combine old world wisdom and artisan chocolate making methods with modern technology to accomplish this task of marrying exceptional flavor with exceptional nutrition: All our raw cacao beans (WITH SKINS!) and cacao nibs are slowly STONE GROUND for many days at the Sacred Chocolate Factory in Marin County, CA, which Sacred Steve personally built from scratch. Our Sacred and Humble Oompa Loompas at the factory hand pour and hand wrap every Heart Bar, and they actually speak Mayan! We do things no other chocolate makers in the world are currently doing to the best of our knowledge! For example, because our "Arriba Nacional - Fina de Aroma" beans from Ecuador are so clean (they actually look like almonds and are constantly mistaken as such), we are allowed to use the SKIN of the bean in all of our chocolate! Like the skin of a cucumber, potato, orange or sesame seed, the skin of a cacao bean is PACKED full of minerals and other phyto-nutrients. For example, cacao is extremely high in magnesium and iron. However, the majority of the iron is lost when chocolate makers winnow away the skin or husk of the bean and sell these husks to chicken farms or fertilizer companies. We grind this skin or husk right into all of our dark chocolate!
Also, even though this is not scientifically proven, we have channeled information from Laurel Steinhice that the husk or skin of the cacao bean has a nutritive component in it that helps promote stem cell production in humans. This information is not based on scientific fact or evaluated or approved by any official health organization including the FDA. (The world's oldest woman recently passed away at 122 and she ate 1-2 pounds of chocolate per week!)
Inspired by this wonderful information, Sacred Chocolate has created the first ever RAW, Organic WHOLE BEAN (including SKINS/Husks) chocolate bar. Currently, several flavors of Sacred Chocolate INCLUDE the SKIN/HUSK of the Cacao Bean! Sacred Chocolate is the only "WHOLE BEAN" chocolate available in the world today! Women, please take note: The SKIN of the cacao bean is noted for its very high iron content!
Currently, we make many different flavors of Sacred Chocolate all in a heart shaped bar symbolic of the fact that raw chocolate is so good for the heart and entire vascular system! We also make rectangular bars.
One of the active ingredients in raw cacao is theobromine which is a vaso-dilator (expands blood vessels). Theobromine was actually given to heart attack victims from the 1890's to about the 1930's in this country! Also, there are two dopamine compounds that make the blood more "slippery".
Sacred Chocolate makes different "classes" of chocolate: Plain, Exotic, and Therapeutic. For example, the "India Sunset" has different Curry Spices in it. The "Amazonian" has the core Amazon Herbology in it. The "Immuno Mushroom" has many different medicinal mushrooms in it. The "White Passion" is the first raw, vegan "white chocolate" in the world. And, the "Mylk" is a dark chocolate that tastes just like Milk Chocolate!

The Raw Chocolate Revolution is happening and we invite you to help us bring it on even more quickly and with the right approach! It is CRITICAL in this day and age to educate the average consumer to VOTE with their dollars and tell them the Global Eco-Economic impact of their purchase of Mass Produced Non-Organic, Non-Fair Trade Chocolate. We are definitely not going to "war" against anything or anybody, but we do want to direct and elevate all towards greater and greater love, peace, and SUSTAINABILITY for all.
If we can sustain long enough, we will have the heart transformation that humanity needs to still be in existence a million years from now.
We hope to hear from you in the future!
Peace, Love & Hearts!
David "Lord Cacao" Wolfe & "Sacred" Steve Adler, King Oompa Loompa
