This is cacao as it has existed for thousands of years — wild, unrefined, and full of intention.

Our 100% Ceremonial Cacao Block is sourced from Indigenous Awajún communities in Peru's High Amazon Basin, grown along the ancient Marañón River near Huaca Montegrande — one of the earliest known sites of cacao use in human history. Wild-grown cacao strains, hand-harvested, fermented, and sun-dried by families who have worked with cacao for generations.

Stone-ground and never defatted, this block preserves the full spectrum of cacao's natural oils, nutrients, and spirit. No pesticides. No industrial processing. No additives of any kind. Just pure, potent cacao paste in its most honest form.

Whether you're building a grounding daily ritual, preparing a traditional ceremonial brew, or simply seeking the deepest expression of single-origin cacao — this is your starting point.

How to Use

• Shave or chop 1–1.5 oz and melt into hot water or plant-based milk for a traditional ceremonial cacao drink
• Use as a base for cacao elixirs, smoothies, or raw chocolate recipes
• Enjoy a small piece straight for a pure, intense cacao experience

Tasting Notes

Deeply earthy and complex, with a full-bodied bitterness, subtle floral undertones, and a long, clean finish that speaks to the wild terroir of the High Amazon.
