Paste Bricks (454g)- Mayan Traditional Blend - Unsweetened Cacao

Our Cacao originates from the forested highlands of the Dominican Republic, where cacao trees from the Amazon were brought centuries ago. Today, small-scale farmers are working together to preserve ancient varieties, making the country one of the world's leading producers of organic cacao.

Directly Traded - Single Region - Single Variety

Created from ripe cacao pods, hand harvested from carefully selected and cultivated trees, naturally fermented in wooden boxes, air & sun dried, to then arrive in our hands. We then follow the traditional practices of gently roasting, winnowing, and stone-grinding the beans into a fine paste that retains all the complex fruity floral flavours and terpenes.

A traditional recipe dating back to the Maya of the Yucatan and to the drinking chocolate served at the Aztec Court of Montezuma, infused with vanilla, flowers, and spices.
