Ceremonial Grade Raw Cacao Powder - 200 gram

Arriba Nacional is one of the best Cacao varieties and is considered a premium Cacao bean. Arriba Nacional is known for its exceptionally full flavor and fruity and floral aromas, captured in a creamy texture.

The Cacao beans used in this powder come from the coastal plains of the Ecuadorian province of Esmeralda in Ecuador. The Cacao powder is made from the finest native Arriba Nacional beans, is cold processed into raw food. Compared to other varieties, this Cacao has a particularly mild and chocolatey taste. The Cacao grows in permaculture surrounded by tropical fruit trees such as oranges, avocados, and mangoes. This ceremonial grade raw cacao is grown by small farmers who have mastered Cacao cultivation, deeply respect the environment, and work together according to international fair trade standards.

Ecuadorian Raw Cacao

Our Ecuadorian Raw Cacao comes from a cooperation with Conexión Chocolate. Conexión supports around 2000 smallholders there, on the one hand by exchanging knowledge and on the other hand through training in organic Cacao cultivation, which creates a sustainable livelihood for the families.

The complete production of Cacao products on-site, from the cacao harvest - to the table, also enables maximum profit for all small farmers involved. In Los Ríos, for example, the cocoa trees grow in an organic mixed culture together with other hardwoods and tropical fruit trees and provide a home for over 72 species of birds. Ideal conditions for the flavor development of the Arriba Nacional, which is known for its fine aroma profile. Conexión Chocolate is committed to the preservation of the Arriba Nacional and cooperates with the Heirloom Cacao Preservation which has dedicated itself to the protection of rare Cacao species!
