About These Ceremonial Grade Cacao Paste Chunks

The Arriba “Nacional” variety is known for its rich, refined flavour and soft, creamy texture. A cold production method keeps the beans unroasted and the paste close to its natural state, so the aromatic depth stays intact. Grown in permaculture systems among tropical fruit trees such as orange, avocado and mango, and cultivated by smallholder farmers working to strict fair trade standards, this cacao reflects both its origin and the people behind it.

Why Choose This Raw Cacao Paste

• Single-origin Ecuador: made exclusively from indigenous Arriba “Nacional” beans with a distinctive aroma, so every serving carries a clear sense of place.
• 100% raw and unroasted: a cold process keeps the cacao close to its natural character and preserves its fruity, floral notes.
• Nothing added: pure cacao paste without sugars, fats or fillers, giving you full control over how you prepare it.

How to Use Cacao Paste Chunks

Break the chunks into smaller pieces to use directly, add them to recipes, or melt them gently. Melting works best au bain-marie or over very low heat so the cacao does not scorch. For a warm cacao drink, warm water or plant-based milk on a low setting, stir in the paste until fully dissolved, and season to taste with natural sweeteners or spices such as cinnamon, vanilla or chilli. A calm, unhurried setting suits ceremonial preparation.
