Sacred Steve\'s Biography

1. Sacred Chocolate & Steve Adler , AKA “Sacred Steve”
Sacred Steve is the Raw Chocolatier of Sacred Chocolate ®. Founded 2 ½ years ago by Steve Adler & David Wolfe, Sacred
Chocolate ® produces the most incredible tasting RAW organic chocolate bars on the planet! Sacred Chocolate ® is
certified organic, certified vegan, certified halal, certified kosher & sold above fair trade standards. Sacred Steve is whole-
heartedly committed to providing the most exceptionally tasting and nutritionally beneficial chocolate, and educating
people on the super-food properties of raw chocolate, and what makes it so sacred!
Why Sacred? Theobroma Cacao, the scientific name for the chocolate tree, literally translates into the “Food of God.”
Sacred Steve believes Sacred Chocolate ® is a holy sacrament, an offering to the higher power, and a super-food for
positive life transformation. One great example of the reverence given the sacred cacao bean, is that the ancient Aztec
Indians of Central America valued cacao so much that they used it as money! Montezuma, the famous Aztec emperor, had
his vaults filled not with gold but with about 960,000,000 raw cacao beans! From the cacao bean to each chocolate bar,
Sacred Chocolate ® is infused with Love, Prayer, and Gratitude. Sacred Steve honors, respects, and gives thanks to all
beings that make the amazing super-food we know as chocolate possible.
Sacred Steve believes Raw Cacao or Chocolate is the latest Raw Super Food! Raw Cacao is the highest known source of
anti-oxidants by a factor of almost 5! It has nearly 20 times the antioxidant levels of red wine and up to 30 times that
which is found in green tea! It is a true super food and unrivaled in many areas of nutrition--especially antioxidants! In
nature, the primary source of Magnesium is cacao (raw chocolate beans) and sources say that over 80% of the US
population is deficient in Magnesium. All processes in the creation of Sacred Chocolate ® are kept below 114 degrees
Fahrenheit to ensure maximum antioxidant retention and zero trans-fats. Sacred Chocolate ® has an antioxidant rating
(ORAC score) 3-4 times higher than that of a cooked dark chocolate bar of comparable cacao content.
Sacred Chocolate ® is unlike any other chocolate as Sacred Steve uses only raw unroasted cacao, which he then slowly
stone grinds the old fashioned way. He sources around the globe for unique and pure indigenous ingredients. Sacred
Steve never uses weak cacao quot;fillerquot; beans to boost cacao percentages and he completely avoids cane sugar and
polycarbonate (plastic) molds. All ingredients are raw in all the heart shaped bars, except those with sweetener, where
certified vegan, organic maple sugar is used (crystallized maple syrup) which he finds to be the best tasting, most nutrient
dense and hi-vibe sweetener. Maple is an eco-friendly sweetener which promotes old growth forests, since no trees are
cut down in its production! It's also low on the glycemic index at 55, and contains manganese, zinc, and potassium as well
as antioxidants including epicatechins and quercetin.
Sacred Chocolate ® is molded into a Sacred Golden Spiral Heart to symbolize both the facts that raw chocolate is good for
the heart, and that an amazing amount of love and great care has gone into the making of Sacred Chocolate ®!
Sacred Chocolate ® is the only chocolate in the world that includes the skin of the cacao bean for flavor and nutritional
purposes. The delicate skin adds a fruity complexity to the flavor of Sacred Chocolate ® and also adds concentrated
phytonutrients, analogous to the nutrition found in the skin of most fruits and vegetables.
Unlike most other raw chocolate bars, Sacred Chocolate ® is hard, finely tempered, and requires no refrigeration! You
can taste the unique magic of this remarkably delicious and nutritionally beneficial chocolate!
Being an alchemist by nature, Sacred Steve is passionate about his creations--20 magic hand crafted flavors so far, with
many more in the alchemical crucible! He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in
aerospace engineering from Stanford University. In 1993, inspired by Anthony Robbins, Sacred Steve began studying and
following the raw food diet, which eventually resulted in the creation of the highest quality raw chocolate in the world -
Sacred Chocolate ®! Sacred Steve is an ordained minister and chaplain in Spiritis Church. When he’s not experimenting
with new recipes Sacred Steve loves to spend his free time with his 7 year old daughter, lecturing and meditating on the
miraculous power of the Sacred Heart, and communing with Nature.
