A very rare Virgin cocoa of the Nacional Arriba variety with a unique taste. Read right here what&#8217;s so special about it!<\/h4>\n<p>Our new single origin cocoa especial no 2 is original, pure and completely natural. Only the very select organic raw cocoa variety National Arriba (55 percent) is used, a rarity, refined with some organic cane sugar for sweetness. Single Origin means that the beans come exclusively from a specific place of origin (so the cocoa is absolutely pure and not a blend of cocoas from different growing locations). The Nacional Arriba &#8211; belongs to the so-called noble cocoas, grows only in Ecuador and partly in Colombia. This is why there are only very small batches of the organic beans: Only five percent of all cocoa traded worldwide is fine cocoa.<\/p>\n<p>Its cultivation is a special feature: The cocoa beans for Becks cocoa organic fine flavoured cocoa especial no 2 grow naturally in mixed cultures in the rainforest in the mountains of Ecuador. Our small farmers, who work together in a small cooperative, plant the sensitive, rare cacao plants between neighboring fruit trees such as banana and papaya. There, the cacao beans ripen in their natural environment. Quietly and completely without chemicals. This natural cultivation method is good for biodiversity and keeps the cacao plants healthy. The cocoa farmers themselves are paid fairly, directly and with higher prices. They also receive support in the form of training on sustainable cocoa cultivation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-pl5uis-e7850159e91c49771aa2802a7e16bc0a av_one_third  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljfdzyfh-706945212211322a5346a5ec93de6f15 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kakaotrocknung-mit-No2-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kakaotrocknung-mit-No2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kakaotrocknung-mit-No2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kakaotrocknung-mit-No2-1-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kakaotrocknung-mit-No2-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljfhnwe7-4ddda4a3b08d8dbb9bfee482fd9de425 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"attachment_9152\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9152\" class=\"wp-image-9152 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Especial-No2-Dose-und-Sachet-2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9152\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The especial no2 &#8211; Our new: 55 percent organic Nacional Arriba fine cocoa with 45 percent sugar content.

For the plants feel comfortable only in tropical regions at the equator (10\u00b0 north and south latitude) and with temperatures between 16 and 35\u00b0 Celsius. Even a few degrees difference and it can happen that the trees no longer bear fruit or even die. In addition, they need constant liquid (at least 100 mm of rain per month). And they also need enough shade. You can see what a complex set of conditions it takes to make that one cup of delicious cocoa you&#8217;re holding in your hand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ff421c;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ff421c;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb .av-subheading{\nfont-size:22px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-ljfi12yt-636822028b7e4523a6857c2b4c518efb av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-thin-font'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><strong>Fair <span class='special_amp'>&amp;<\/span> directly traded!<\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljfilj66-2290190ad542db1a289f65f3fbb05e53\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ljfilj66-2290190ad542db1a289f65f3fbb05e53 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljfilj66-2290190ad542db1a289f65f3fbb05e53 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9179 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4-1030x580.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beckscocoa.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/especial-2-4-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ff421c;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ff421c;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:22px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-ljfi4jb3-d3323a8e8d2d6a743e2c7dbcb0132583 av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-thin-font'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><strong>Our epicurean tip: <\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljfi4v2k-19c436c20e609c42b4a06f386b212317\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ljfi4v2k-19c436c20e609c42b4a06f386b212317 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljfi4v2k-19c436c20e609c42b4a06f386b212317 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Try your raw cocoa &#8211; whether stirred hot or cold &#8211; with a mini pinch of salt.<br \/>\nThis makes for a particularly intense taste experience!<br \/>\nBy the way, our especial no 2 is perfect not only as drinking chocolate but also for healthy smoothies, fine pastries and delicious desserts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you drink your raw cocoa, the especial no 2?
