WHAT MAKES THIS CACAO SO SPECIAL?
- High-Quality Cacao - This cacao comes from an ancient farm in Guatemala and it’s made from the highest quality beans, known as Criollo
- Handmade - Each step of the process, including sun drying, roasting, peeling, and grinding, is performed by hand with greater care and intention
- Way Beyond Fair Trade - The cacao farmers and producers set their own prices, and receive way more than the fair trade rate, which would still be exploitative
- Authentic Mayan Tradition - The Cacao collective is rooted in authentic Mayan traditions and values, preserving a rich cultural heritage that has been passed down for centuries
- Biodiverse Farming - The cacao used in this paste is grown using regenerative and biodiverse farming practices that prioritize the health of the soil, wildlife, and ecosystem
- Blessed - The Mayan spiritual leaders perform a Mayan ceremony using incense and fire to invoke sacred energies for cleansing, blessing, and protection of the cacao.
