The Smoothest and Most Heart Opening Cacao
"I have been working with KAKAO's Cacao Chuncho for eight years, and she has become a foundational part of my daily ritual and healing journey. She supported my nervous system recovery, helped me feel safe in my body again, and deepened my connection to nature in an embodied and meaningful way. Beyond personal healing, this cacao has been at the heart of my community gatherings. She has guided me gently and consistently toward trust, alignment, and the creation of meaningful local community. I have tried many ceremonial cacaos over the years. This one stands apart. The taste is unbelievably smooth, rich, and clean. The connection feels direct and powerful. If you are looking for cacao with integrity, depth, and a truly beautiful flavor, this is it."
Excellent quality and vibration
"Very thankful for this KAKAO."
INCREDIBLE
"When my friend told me about this…I honestly saw a twinkle in her eye. I didn’t take it seriously, then finally ordered it 6 months later…and whoa. What a treat! So special. Thank you!"
Excellent taste
"I don’t drink coffee. I wanted something warm and natural for the morning. I saw a bunch of videos and recommendations for cacao. I am so glad I went with this brand. The taste is absolutely delicious. I am using almond milk with it and a teaspoon of raw honey. It is so creamy. I love it. I love the clarity and happiness I get after consuming it."
"A beautiful smell of pure cocoa with that blend is perfect for my use"
The best!!!

Cacao Paste Made With Whole Native Cacao Beans*
*Specific strain/variety: Cacao Chuncho from Peru
Stone Ground, Minimally Processed and Produced with Intention
Never tempered or conched. Stone ground only. Whole beans always.
Every batch is intentionally made and blessed.
NOT a block (in non-summer months)
KAKAO is not sold as a solid block, but rather as a granular product that you can easily scoop.
But rest assured, this is Ceremonial Cacao Paste that you're looking for.
If KAKAO was left in the sun, it would melt and return to its original block form, which we simply chopped in a food processor for your convenience.
In non-summer months, it will arrive to your doorstep as a granular product that you can scoop easily with a tablespoon.
If your KAKAO melts while in transit, click here for instructions.
