Peruvian Ceremonial Grade Criollo Cacao Chefs' Drops 


We love our ceremonial cacao in beautiful, irregular chunks and blocks, but when you're cooking, or wanting to be precise with your measuring for cacao drink,sometimes you want things to be a little bit easier and more convenient!  Welcome...  Chefs' Drops!

This is exactly the same cacao as our lightly roasted Ceremonial cacao that comes in chunks or blocks, but moulded into convenient drops. 

Experience the rich, velvety taste of our 100% organic ceremonial cacao, made with rare Criollo cacao beans, prized for their superior flavor and quality. Perfect for drinking and baking.

Sustainably Sourced from the Peruvian Amazon
Our certified organic ceremonial cacao is grown using agroforestry methods, supporting biodiversity and local communities while preserving the environment.

The Bean – Criollo: The King of Cacao
Our cacao is single variety, single origin, made using 100% Criollo beans; it is not blended with other varieties known for their nutty, fruity, and vibrant flavor. Criollo is celebrated for its smooth, luxurious finish, making it ideal for high-quality hot chocolate, ceremonial drinks, or gourmet recipes.

Flavor Profile
Enjoy nutty and fruity notes with a smooth, rich finish from this very gently roasted Criollo cacao. Perfect for hot chocolate, cacao ceremonies, or baking into cakes, brownies, and desserts.

Nutrient-Rich Superfood
Cacao is naturally rich in antioxidants, minerals, and compounds such as theobromine and phenylethylamine (PEA). Our minimally processed cacao preserves more nutrients than beans that are highly roasted or Dutch-processed. No additives, emulsifiers, or vanilla are added.

Ceremonial Grade Cacao
Ideal for ceremonial use or everyday enjoyment. Works well with hot water, plant-based milk, or dairy milk. Adjust the amount for taste: 20g for daily drinks, 40-50g for a ceremonial-style serving. When using in cooking and baking, reduce the amount in your recipe and use more sweetener, this is 100% pure cacao, it's RICH!

100% Pure & Natural
No preservatives, no additives, just pure organic ceremonial grade cacao with high cocoa butter content for a creamy, flavourful drink or recipe ingredient.

A Note about Chefs' Drops

Please note, these are created for cooking and melting, and whilst the texture is perfectly acceptable, please bear in mind they're created for melting and cooking, the tempering process hasn't been undertaken with the desired outcome of having perfectly tempered chocolate you might find in a chocolate bar.
