100% Raw Cacao Bean, Theobroma cacao
Ceremonial cacao is a high-quality, minimally processed cacao valued for its rich flavor and traditional ceremonial uses. Our cacao is carefully sourced from suppliers who cultivate the cacao beans using organic farming practices, without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Peru is home to rare, traditional cacao varieties (like native Criollo and Chuncho strains) that many enthusiasts consider richer in flavour and phytonutrients compared with mass‑market cacao. These heirloom varieties are:
-
Cold‑processed or minimally processed, helping preserve nutrient and flavonoid content.
-
Ethically and sustainably sourced from small farmers using eco‑friendly agricultural methods.
Although the raw material is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, our company is not certified organic, and the finished product is therefore not sold as organic under EU regulations. Each batch is selected for quality, purity, and authenticity, then gently processed to preserve the cacao’s natural character and flavor.
Contraindications: Ceremonial cacao may not be suitable for individuals sensitive to caffeine or theobromine. People with heart conditions, hypertension, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before use.
Suitable for use in herbal preparations, beverages, or ceremonial settings where high-quality, responsibly sourced botanicals are required.
