This Ceremonial Criollo Cacao has been produced with love and intention to honour the Awaju’n community of Peru. For thousands of years the Awaju’n tribes had a spiritual connection with cacao and its therapeutic benefits. Their cacao ceremonial temple at Montegrande had a spiral shape to show the union of the human spirit with the universe and make us remember the cycles of life, birth, new beginnings, and the aduncance of the new generation.
The seeds of the cacao tree were a major currency to Meso-American cultures throughout history. Rich in fats (40-60%), theobromine (a stimulating alkaloid), and a superior source of magnesium, this plant offers a lot of medicine. Theobromine is also found in some Ilex species, cassine and guayusa. There is also theophylline found in cacao, a compound with a similar structure and B-phenethylamine, tyramine, tryptamine, and serotonin.
This Cacao has a flavour which is both sweet and fruity, less bitter than most varieties of Cacao.
