We specialize in supplying bulk cacao paste (ceremonial-grade) and cacao essential oil sourced from 'chuncho' cacao beans, one of the world’s most highly regarded native cacao varieties, grown in the rainforest of Cusco, Peru. Our cacao is the result of a careful selection process, careful post-harvest methods, and a deep respect for the biodiversity and culture that surrounds this unique variety.

Peru: The Global Cradle of Cacao Biodiversity

Peru is home to the greatest diversity of native cacao on Earth. Out of 25 cacao genotypes studied, 17 are found in Peru—a fact supported by Alliance Bioversity & CIAT and scientific research by Evert Thomas. This rich genetic heritage makes Peru an unparalleled origin for both cacao diversity, quality and innovation.
