"At last - a delicious, smooth and creamy chocolate that is actually good for you!
Raw cacao has many amazing health benefits. It contains high amounts of magnesium which is the critical mineral for many important functions including; balancing blood pressure, good nerve and muscle function, heart and kidney health and aids in the prevention of osteoporosis. It also contains MAO inhibitors which allow more serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain, and are known as the feel good chemicals.
Mulu Chocolate contains agave nectar which has a low GI index and therefore will not create a spike in blood sugar levels. Traditional types of chocolate contain both heated cacao and sugar, which may taste satisfying to eat, but will elevate blood sugar, and this will eventually result in the ‘sugar blues’ or a hypoglycaemic condition. This mood lowering state has a devastating effect on the body and a vicious cycle of craving more and more sugar will kick in. This is when most people will reach for food or drinks that will rapidly elevate their mood and energy levels such as; crisps, cakes, biscuits, coffee and alcohol. The feel good factor which comes with this way of eating is only ever short term.
The special alchemical blend makes Mulu Chocolate the supreme choice when one feels like indulging in a treat.
Enjoy!"

Our packaging is incredibly earth friendly!
From the very beginning, we at Mulu Raw Chocolate have made a conscious decision to keep our packaging raw, like our beautiful chocolate. With this is mind, we use only recyclable card from sustainable sources for our boxes and biodegradable material for our inner wrappers. The inks we print with are plant based and our boxes are sealed using water based varnish.
Please continue to LOVE our little planet by recycling and composting.
Our ingredients are ethically sourced!
Our raw cacao is sourced from the Guayas river area of Equador, from traditional, small scale productions, where trusted relationships have been established with the farmers. Many of the farmers already have fair trade certification that guarantees economic aspects, and social certification to guarantee the responsible use of the rainforest. The people who do all the co-ordination work with the farmers and oversee all aspects of growing & production (to ensure quality) are also going through Fair trade certification processes at the present time. However, as they already implement all the benefits in favour of the farmers and their employees, they are taking a relaxed approach to completing the paperwork required by an external certifier. We are proud to support this scheme and are very satisfied that our cacao products are ethically and consciously sourced.
We support our suppliers ongoing plans to become Fairtrade certified.
When you indulge in Mulu Chocolate you may do so with every ecstatic molecule of your being because THIS chocolate could actually be BENEFICIAL TO YOUR HEALTH!
Mulu Raw Chocolate products are joyously created with the finest, unsprayed, raw cacao liquor, butter & nibs from Equador. Our raw cacao products are never heated above 48 degrees Celsius, and in practice, temperatures usually stay well below 40 degrees Celsius. This gentle method of processing ensures the cacao maintains its miraculous health giving, key nutrient qualities, as well as its texture, flavour, antioxidants, aphrodisiac qualities and mood elevation capabilities.
Cacao beans contain no sugar and between 12% and 50% fat depending on variety and growth conditions. Our cacao beans contain around 40% fat content (low compared to other nuts). There is no evidence to implicate cacao bean consumption with obesity.
All of our ingredients are carefully sourced to ensure Mulu Raw Chocolate is the best it can possibly be – our attention to detail and our dedication to quality are exceptional.
We delicately sweeten our beautiful chocolate with raw Agave Nectar, taken from the living Agave cactus plant, native to Mexico. We use Agave primarily, because it is delicious and nutritious! When processed at low temperatures, Agave is abundant in vitamins, minerals and enzymes which your body can absorb and use. Agave Nectar also has a low Glycemic Index (between 11 & 19) meaning that it raises blood sugar levels gently, keeping sugar cravings at bay and helping people to burn, rather than store fat - the news that diabetic and hyperglycaemic people the world over have been waiting for!
(If you are sensitive to sugar, please ensure Agave Nectar is suitable for you with your doctor).
Because we want Mulu Raw Chocolate to taste delicious, we lovingly infuse our raw cacao butter with Bourbon Vanilla. Vanilla planifolia as it is also known can be traced back to the 16th century and its origin in Mexico. These beautiful vanilla beans are the product of the organic vanilla co-op mountain plantations, in Papua New Guinea (PNG). These small remote farms grow their beans in pristine conditions and never use herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or artificial additives. The beans are naturally sun-dried and cured to perfection. The climate and fertile soil are enough to produce the finest vanilla beans in the world.
From July 2009, all newly created bars of MULU Raw Chocolate will be soya free. Instead, we will use literally a trace of sunflower lecithin in our recipes to give our raw chocolate the high end look and taste we are synonomous with. Having researched the ecological benefits of using sunflower over soya lecithin, the decision to make the switch was a no brainer! We are so over the moon that people with a soya allergy or intolerance can now enjoy MULU Raw Chocolate along with the rest of us.
