OUR CACAO
We proudly source premium Criollo cacao beans in the sacred lands of the Andean Amazon in northern Peru. Rooted in ancient traditions, we honour the revered Theobroma cacao tree, which has been cherished for millennia by Inca, Quechua, and Mayan civilizations for its profound spiritual and ceremonial significance.
We cultivate deep connections with our farming communities through our certified UTZ social responsibility program. This commitment ensures fair trade practices, sustainable farming methods, and the preservation of our precious natural ecosystems. By empowering local communities with educational initiatives and essential tools for cacao cultivation, we nurture a harmonious relationship with Pachamama and uphold the highest standards of sustainability.
begins beneath the canopy of native trees, where the cacao tree thrives in harmony with Mother Nature. The beans, encased in the sweet, white pulp of the cacao fruit, undergo meticulous fermentation in wooden containers, followed by gentle sun-drying. This careful process enhances their exquisite flavour and prepares them for the sacred ceremonies they will enrich.
Once sun-kissed and meticulously sorted, the beans are transformed into precious cacao nibs. These sacred fragments, imbued with the pure essence of cacao, embody the spiritual journey and are ideal for ceremonial rituals and personal reflection. Beyond their ceremonial value, cacao nibs are rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and iron, offering a natural boost to your well-being and vitality.
Our chosen cacao nibs are then delicately ground to create a velvety cacao paste. Through an alchemical process conducted without heat, the beans are transformed into a smooth, unadulterated paste, preserving their natural integrity and spiritual potency. Rich in cacao butter, this pure essence not only supports your ceremonial practice but also provides essential nutrients like flavonoids, which support heart health, and minerals that promote overall wellness. Versatile in its ceremonial uses, it invites you to explore the ancient wisdom and healing properties of ceremonial cacao.
