Organic Ceremonial Raw Cacao, Criollo

ORGANIC CEREMONIAL GRADE  CACAO

Our 100% organic raw cacao is made with the rare and prized Criollo Cacao bean.

Indulge your senses in a daily ritual and savour the rich, velvety notes that dance on your palate, a symphony of deep chocolatey goodness with nutty, fruity vibrant flavour notes. Each bite is a journey through the lush landscapes where these exceptional beans are cultivated, offering a taste experience that transcends anything like regular 'hot chocolate' drinks.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED FROM THE PERUVIAN AMAZON

Our Organic certified Peruvian cacao is grown using the agroforestry land management system in harmony with surrounding trees and shrubs. This sustainable method supports the local environment and contributes to the biodiversity of the land and forest, in addition to supporting the communities and lives of the people living in the area.

THE BEAN - CRIOLLO 'KING OF CACAO' 

Our organic ceremonial cacao is made using a minimum of 75% Criollo bean.  Criollo is known as the King of Cacao.

The Criollo variety is considered a delicacy and prized for its superior flavour of all the cacao bean varieties. Both Cacao Ceremony facilitators and the World's finest chocolatiers hold the criollo bean in the highest regard due to its unparalleled deliciousness. 

HOW DOES OUR CEREMONIAL CACAO TASTE?

Although 100% cacao, this is not the bitter experience that you might expect. We've selected this criollo cacao and bean for its exceptional flavour. Think nutty, fruity and vibrant notes followed by a smooth, rich and luxurious finish. First experience the sensational flavours followed by a flood of heart-opening warmth and fuzziness.  

As well as an incredible hot chocolate or ceremonial cacao drink, the delicious flavour of this cacao also makes for luxurious baking, try it in your cakes and brownies or grate it into savoury dishes to add depth and richness.

A SUPERFOOD POWERHOUSE OF NUTRIENTS AND BENEFICIAL  COMPOUNDS

Cacao is one of nature's most wonderful superfoods, packed with an abundant powerhouse of nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and compounds such as theobromine, phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide.

Our cacao paste is raw, retaining far more nutrients and goodness than beans that have been roasted or alkalised using the Dutch process, (this is the process that the majority of the world's chocolate and cocoa powder uses for mass production of powdered and chocolate)

CEREMONIAL GRADE CACAO

This Criollo Cacao Paste is perfect for cacao ceremonies and rituals, unadulterated, positive collaboration and fair deals through farming, harvesting, drying, fermenting, production of the liquor and purchasing from the small cooperative.

Made using the highest quality sustainably grown criollo beans, the best beans for ceremony, with a high cocoa butter content it creates a delicious, warming, heart-opening creamy cacao drink without need to add any milk or creamers. It's delicious whether you choose hot water (Aztec style!), plant milk or non-vegan milk and with or without sweeteners.

MASTER PLANT SPIRIT

Cacao has been celebrated for millennia by the aztecs and indiginous people since, as a traditional powerful plant spirit teacher, opening our hearts, lifting our spirits and helping us to cultivate more 'presence' and 'being in the Now'.  It's truly a master plant teacher.
