Bourbon Smoked Cacao Nibs

Cacao nibs are cacao beans that have been roasted, separated from their husks and broken into smaller pieces. They have a chocolatey taste, but they’re not quite as sweet as chocolate, which can make them more versatile. Bourbon Barrel Foods nibs have a hint of smoke which adds another dimension of flavor. A healthy snack. Great in trail mix or smoothies, oatmeal, or in many baked goods.

Bourbon Barrel Foods is a maker of gourmet food products that reflect the rich heritage of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, "The Napa Valley of the Bluegrass." Their philosophy is to make quality gourmet sauces and seasonings by adhering to a three-word philosophy: slow, small, simple. From the farmer in southern Kentucky that grows the soybeans for naturally fermented, small-batch soy sauce, to the grower in Eastern Kentucky that harvests the sorghum used as a sweetener, Bourbon Barrel Foods have a hands-on approach that requires them to search for the best their state has to offer and develop relationships with the farmers that get great satisfaction seeing their crops grow from the seed to the shelf.
