Cacao contains many nutrients and antioxidants that may have health benefits, including:
Cacao’s flavanols and theobromine may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve cognitive function while protecting against age-related decline. A 2018 study found that older adults who consumed cacao flavanols had improved cognitive function.
Cacao also contains potassium and zinc, which help maintain strong blood vessels. Studies have shown that consuming cacao daily can significantly lower blood pressure, balance free radicals and antioxidants, which can boost the immune system.
Raw cacao nibs contain fiber and antioxidants that are beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract ferment, which can aid in digestion and reduce the risk of digestive issues. Raw cacao contains tryptophan, an amino acid that the brain uses to produce serotonin, a feel-good chemical that can increase feelings of happiness. Raw cacao is rich in magnesium, which can help relax and heal muscles, fight acid buildup, neutralize toxins, and calm sensitivity to pain.
Amy Riolo Selections extra-virgin olive oil contains anti-inflammatory, and antioxidants called polyphenols. When paired with carbohydrates or sweeteners, extra-virgin olive oil can reduce the glycemic index. Pairing it with high quality cacao extracts even more nutrients from the cacao itself than if it was eaten alone. Produced by the multiple award-winning, Tenute Cristiano estate, Amy Riolo Selections extra-virgin olive oil offers notes of tomato and heirloom vegetables and herbs combined with peppery sensations that characterize its unique and intense flavor and pair beautifully with dark chocolate. It’s fluid and harmonious texture add a luscious mouthfeel to the chocolate and lend a full taste with an almond and citrus finish.
Dried Calabrian chili peppers, called peperoncini, are also full of antioxidants which along with Vitamin C boost the immune system and fend off oxidative stress. The fiber in pepperoncini promotes digestive wellness as well.
