Made only from virgin crop, meaning the first crop of the tree and hand-selected pods. Our cacao butter is fermented and full bean, generated from milling the whole bean into a creamy, rich paste then pressing to separate the cacao mass from the rich butter following ancient traditions. We provide the highest quality, pure cacao butter so you can feel the love too! We personally source our beans from Peru to find the most potent, therapeutic & flavour rich cacao possible. Every batch is tested and shown to be safe from heavy metals and cadmium. We go beyond fair trade and work exclusively with one family farm that uses sustainable natural agroforestry practices  Our cacao is artisinally grown, fermented and roasted (below 50C), while maintaining neutral acidity to provide the best aroma and taste

100% pure certified organic, single-origin, Peruvian ceremonial cacao paste. New Zealand-Peruvian owned and operated family business   The Amaru (Quecha language - snake) in Andean cosmovision represents the Ukhu Pacha - the world below and the connection to our ancestors. This special ceremonial paste is hand-crafted from criollo cacao in Tocache, Peru, in honour of the Awajun tribe who hold the spiral cacao temple of Monte Grande in Jaen. It is organically shade-grown and hand-selected by our artisanal farmer to the best potency and quality of each block. It is blessed and provides high-vibrational energy, with reverence for Peru's ancient ceremonial cacao traditions.  Our ceremonial Criollo cacao has an incredible ratio of 29:1 - theobromine:caffeine. Perfect for the uplifting, heart opening effects without the negative side-effects of caffeine over-stimulation. Our biochemical analysis has shown it to be also potent in levels of ethanolamides (NAEs) for feelings of intense bliss, polyphenols for mental clarity and tryptophan for sensations of joy and happiness. It has a strong profile of sweet and fruity flavours absorbed from the Amazonian agroforestry in which it grows. It is an externalising cacao that brings uplifting, heart opening bliss and energising clarity. We recommend this cacao for use in ceremonies involving movement, breath work, dance, expression, trauma release and for daily use to assist with energy, immunity, balance and well-being.

What is ceremonial Cacao? Ceremonial cacao is a healing and heart opening elixir produced and blessed respecting mother nature and her frequency.  It is 100% pure organic, single-origin and grows under the natural canopy of the Amazon jungle, surrounded by other plants like banana or papaya trees. The cacao’s vibration is determined by the agroforestry techniques used and the surrounding plants and environment, this also impacts on the sensory profile, flavour and therapeutic properties. As a small family business we are working with our farm and community to bring a sustainable future to cacao and rescue all the ancient traditions surrounding it’s use. Intended for ceremonial use, whether in a group or just by yourself at home.
