Mexican Ceremonial Cacao 85g by SOMA CACAO
Expect a stronger, more unique flavour and greater potency due to this rare and powerful cacao strain: criolla beans (almendra blanca, to be specific) are considered the crème de la crème of cacao.
Our single origin, award-winning, ceremonial whole bean Mexican cacao grows in Chiapas, in a town called Cacahoatán, which means “place of cacao” in the ancient Toltec language. Need we say more? :)
It has been internationally recognised by the highly prestigious Cacao of Excellence Awards in 2021 (GOLD Winner!) and in 2019. This award ranks cacao from all around the world based on quality, flavour and diversity.
It has been sourced ethically and directly from the producer, Josue, whose family has taken care of the cacao growing on their land for generations. No middle-man. No complex supply chain. We pay Josue stable, premium prices that are substantially higher than commodity market and Fair Trade prices, and which are protected from market fluctuations.
It is exclusively shade-grown using sustainable agroforestry systems.
Ingredients: 100% Pure Solidified Cacao Paste ("Ceremonial Cacao").
