Is Alkemie also RAW?
– We are in fact a 95%+ raw food company. We do source raw or low-temperature processed ingredients and then use a cold-production method in making our raw dairy-free ice cream base. This insures that the final product maintains as much nutritional value and authentic flavor profiles as possible. Some ingredients we use are not “raw.” Like the organic cacao powder and the organic chocolate chunks. Truly raw chocolate is a misnomer and does not exist. Some level of heat or processing is needed to remove cacaos bitter constituents, so as to provide that characteristically familiar chocolate flavor. Even heated, cacao has a plethora of anti-oxidants, poly-phenols and minerals.
