Provided is cacao extract with better flavor and in which miscellaneous flavor is reduced, and a method for producing such cacao extract. The cacao-derived water extract of the present invention contains polyphenol. In this cacao water extract, the ratio of a total mass of dimeric to tetrameric proanthocyanidins to a total mass of monomeric to octameric proanthocyanidins is 40% or more. Also, in this method for producing cacao extract, an active ingredient such as polyphenol is extracted from a cacao raw material such as cacao powder using water adjusted to a temperature within a range from 50 C. to 90 C. inclusive and to a pH within a range from 2.0 to 5.0 inclusive.
