Crafting Exceptional Cacao: An Art Form
Just like wine or coffee, creating exceptional cacao (or chocolate) is an art that demands deep expertise at every stage—from the fruit to the final product. Join us on a journey to discover what defines true quality for us: transparency, excellence, and mindfulness.
DOING GOOD
Selection with intention
Imported Raw Material
Theobroma cacao thrives in the tropics, where it flourishes in warmth, humidity, and shade. Sensitive to disease and requiring careful attention year-round, cacao has the potential to be a powerful driver of economic development and forest preservation—when sourced responsibly. By working hand in hand with local communities and sharing the value with the true heroes of the supply chain, we can create lasting positive impact.
I’ve carefully selected special cacao from Central and South America, guided by regenerative principles that honor social, economic, and environmental balance.
Every origin tells a unique story. Join me on the journey through the lands where these exceptional beans are sourced.
BEAN-TO-BAR PROCESS
Crafted with care
All our products are handmade in a small, artisanal bean-to-bar workshop. This slow and meticulous process allows the natural flavors of each origin to fully develop, while preserving the nutrients naturally present in the cacao beans.
What’s in our ingredients? Only pure cocoa beans. Each origin is unique—varying in size and flavor—so we adapt our process to bring out its best. One thing you can always count on: no sugar, no additives, and all the good fats intact.
CONSCIOUSNESS
Our convictions about ceremonial cacao
More Than Just Health
We believe that pure cacao offers much more than just its health benefits. Revered as a heart opener, our cacao can be savored in a personal ritual or shared in ceremony, whether alone or within a group setting.
Cacao is never genetically modified. Among the 12 genetic families of cacao, we focus on working with Criollo and Trinitario varieties. While we acknowledge that genetic studies can be costly, we place our trust in farmers who know their land and crops better than anyone else. We prioritize the selection of ancient cacao varieties, not only to preserve them but to support the broader vision of sustainable and regenerative farming projects.
The way cacao beans are processed makes a world of difference. Unlike conventional cocoa powders or even organic products found in stores, our cacao is never defatted and is carefully crafted in small batches. This preserves a higher content of iron, magnesium, antioxidants, and all the bliss-inducing compounds. Our products are more alive than industrial ones, and that’s where the true difference lies.
It’s no coincidence that cacao beans have been used in ceremonies and rituals for centuries in Mesoamerica. While cacao is becoming trendy in today’s society, we believe it’s essential to approach it with an open heart and honor these ancient traditions. We invite you to be intentional in your connection with cacao—take time to center yourself, anchor your body, meditate, and offer blessings to each ingredient in your recipe.
