Special Origin and Properties
This Criollo cacao is sourced from the Peruvian Amazon, the birthplace of cacao, where small-scale farmers continue the tradition. The Criollo variety, often called the “king of cacao,” is prized for its delicate flavor and mild bitterness, unlike other types such as Forastero. The beans are carefully selected to ensure a pure, ceremonial-grade experience.
