Thanks for the input @ภ๏รtг๏ภคยt - so to clarify your point on tempering and blooming. @Bitcoin Beans 100% cacao is not candy, it is not a chocolate bar, it is 100% medicinal food. And when you do the tempering process, heating and cooling, heating and cooling, you play with the molecular structure of the cacao, heating to higher temperatures reduces the medicinal benefits of the cacao. Yes the blooming can sometimes look not the best aesthetically but to compromise health benefits for a guaranteed finish on the Block is not our game. We will not compromise health over appearance. For context blooming is not a bad thing, essentially it is a marker that shows the consumer that this cacao has a high fat content. It’s not a bad thing, but I appreciate educationally it is something new to everyone who has grown up on the chocolate bars we know from the stores. We appreciate your point on this and will be updating our website and packaging to draw people’s attention to this point. Thank you for raising this once more and we continue to work to the highest standards and transparency to meet our customers needs. Big love to all x

I hear your point on prioritizing health over looks, but it’s worth noting that proper tempering usually happens at temperatures well below the point where the beneficial compounds, like polyphenols, degrade. So, since we aren't cooking the cacao, just aligning the fat crystals, you can actually have both.... a shelf-stable, snappy block and the full medicinal profile. Plus, a stable temper helps prevent the fat from separating, which keeps the chocolates texture consistent for the consumer.
