Callebaut Extra Brute Cocoa
Belgian-craft Dutch-processed cocoa from Callebaut — a deep, dark, low-acid base that anchors the taste of the formula and acts as a fat-soluble carrier for curcuminoids, carotenoids and tocopherols.
- 01Cocoa flavanols (epicatechin, procyanidins) support endothelial function, healthy blood pressure and cerebral blood flow
- 02Theobromine provides a gentle, sustained focus lift without the jitter or crash of caffeine
- 03Exceptional polyphenol antioxidant load — among the highest ORAC values of any food
- 04Naturally rich in magnesium (~500 mg/100g) supporting muscle recovery and nervous-system calm
- 05Phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide gently elevate mood and motivation
- 06Cocoa butter content (~22%) emulsifies fat-soluble actives — curcuminoids, β-carotene, vitamin E, vitamin K
- 07Alkalised (Dutched) for a deep, mellow flavour that masks bitter herbal notes without added sugar
First fermented and roasted as xocolātl by the Olmec and Aztec, who used cacao as both currency and ceremonial elixir. Coenraad Van Houten's 1828 Dutching process gave the modern dark-cocoa profile, and Callebaut have refined the craft in Belgium since 1911.
