Why Ceremonial Cacao?
Pure Cacao
Cocoa lovers, welcome to the shop where you will find the highest quality ceremonial cocoa varieties from around the world. For us, cocoa is not only a popular delicacy, but also a powerful "superfood" that brings countless benefits to the body, mind and soul. We would be happy to tell you more about it.
The History of Cocoa – A Gift from Nature
The first mentions of cocoa come from the myths and legends of the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, especially the Aztecs and their predecessors the Toltecs and Mayas. The domestication of the cocoa tree dates back to 5,300 years ago in what is now southern Ecuador. Cocoa was considered a gift from the gods and was used not only as a nutritious food, but also in ritual ceremonies and medicine. Among the Aztecs, it even had a value as a currency – cocoa beans were used as currency.
Why Ceremonial Cacao?
Regular cocoa powder undergoes intensive industrial processing, in which cocoa beans are roasted at high temperatures, which destroys many of the valuable substances and flavor nuances. In addition, the removal of cocoa butter reduces its nutritional value.
In contrast, ceremonial cacao undergoes minimal processing. It is produced by gently fermenting, drying and crushing whole cacao beans, preserving their rich flavour, aroma and all their valuable nutrients. The result is a pure natural product with no additives – true cacao in its strongest form.
