What makes this cacao ceremonial grade?

There is no official standard or certification for ceremonial grade cacao. To ensure you are getting cacao of the highest quality produced ethically and sustainably, it's important to know not only the brand, but the producer and the farmer.

At Choco Estates, we are the farmers and producers who work with cacao every day.

To us, ceremonial grade means:

Heirloom and ancestral varieties of cacao, shade grown in forest gardens like the Nacional cacao we grow
Trees cultivated by us from seed, carefully tended according to the moon cycle
Seeds carefully fermented and sun dried onsite
Fire roasted and hand shelled, by skilled people instead of machines
Stone ground, Poured, molded, and wrapped by hand

Everyone involved in the process is treated with dignity and paid a just wage

How to make the perfect ceremonial cup:

Traditional Block: with a sharp knife, shave off the desired amount of cacao paste and add to hot water, or milk.

Drops and spice blends: put 4 or 5 into your favorite mug, add hot water, or milk. Cover and allow the drops to melt.

Once the shaved paste or drops have melted, whisk until frothy and sweeten if desired
