Organic Ceremonial Criollo Cacao 

Experience the bright of our 100% raw ceremonial criollo cacao from the Peruvian Amazon, made with rare Criollo cacao beans, prized for their superior flavour and quality. Perfect for drinking, baking, or adding depth to recipes.

We now offer two options 100% Raw or Gently Roasted Ceremonial Cacao.  Some people prefer raw to retain optimum nutrients, whilst others prefer the rounded, deeper flavour of lightly roasted.

The raw version flavour notes are lighter, brighter and sharper with tropical fruit notes followed by unmistakeble criollo complexity.

With the (very) lightly roasted ceremonial cacao you get deeper smoother nutty flavours with citrus and blackcurrent, followed by a deeper, richer criollo chocolate finish.

Why not try both and compare notes?
