Santa Barbara Chocolate – Premium Cacao Nibs

Verified Flavanols, Polyphenols & Ultra-Low Heavy Metals

Single-Origin Purity. Scientifically Verified Potency. Unmatched Flavor.

Crafted for daily vitality from carefully selected cacao beans, our Premium Cacao Nibs are grown in lush, nutrient-rich equatorial rainforests. Each bean is harvested with care, lightly roasted, and stone-broken to preserve cacao’s pure, natural complexity—delivering deep chocolate flavor and scientifically validated nutritional benefits.

Pure. Potent. Proven.

FDA Qualified High-Flavanol Claim

Independently verified by third-party laboratory testing, just three tablespoons (24 grams total) of our Premium Cacao Nibs provide approximately 233 mg of cocoa flavanols (DP1–DP7), exceeding the FDA’s threshold for labeling as a "High Flavanol" food. Experience the power of functional cacao backed by rigorous scientific validation.

Functional Benefits (Per 1 Tbsp / 8g Serving):

  • 77.68 mg Total Cocoa Flavanols (DP1–DP7) – Clinically studied compounds known for cardiovascular and cognitive wellness.

  • 28,600 µg/g Total Polyphenols (Gallic Acid Equivalents) – Powerful antioxidants surpassing many traditional superfoods.

These values represent the presence of naturally bioavailable flavanol monomers and oligomers (DP1–DP7), meticulously verified using industry gold-standard High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Remarkably Low Heavy Metals – Independently Verified:

Our cacao nibs consistently exceed the strictest global standards for purity, tested and verified by ISO-accredited laboratories:

  • Cadmium: 0.0538 ppm (far below California Prop 65’s 0.80 ppm limit for 95%+ cacao)

  • Lead: <0.005 ppm

  • Mercury: <0.005 ppm

  • Arsenic: <0.010 ppm

This exceptional purity highlights our unwavering commitment to clean, safe cacao—preserved by nature, verified by science.

Whole Food Integrity, Uncompromised Quality:

  • 100% pure cacao nibs—nothing added, nothing removed

  • Non-alkalized and minimally processed to retain full flavonoid integrity

  • Vegan, gluten-free, and additive-free

  • Rich, deep chocolatey bitterness accented by subtle notes of fruit and minerals

How to Use:

  • Blend into smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt

  • Bake into cookies, granola, or energy bites

  • Enjoy straight as a crunchy, nutrient-rich snack

Available Sizes:

  • 2 lb Bag: Ideal for daily wellness and vitality

  • 10 × 2 lb Bags (20 lb Case): Best value, includes independent certification & FREE shipping

Certificate of Analysis (COA):

  • Flavanol and Polyphenol Profile: Independently verified via AOAC 2020.05 and AOAC 2017.13 methodologies.

  • Heavy Metals: Tested and verified via AOAC methods (AOAC 2011.19, 993.14, and 2015.01).

This analysis underscores Santa Barbara Chocolate’s deep commitment to purity, transparency, and scientifically validated quality.

From origin to outcome, our Premium Cacao Nibs represent the unparalleled intersection of flavor, functionality, and verified purity—setting the gold standard in premium cacao, exclusively from Santa Barbara Chocolate.

Grade AA cocoa beans are rainforest harvested, fermented and low roast to ensure a delicate flavor and maximum cocoa antioxidants. Audited and tested for safety, Santa Barbara Chocolate uses the same high grade cacao to make nibs as we do in making our chocolate. We test for heavy metals and microbes and we are confident our crunchy nibs are an industry leader in quality.
