Natural paste (cacao mass) made from ground cacao beans (theobroma cacao), also known as ceremonial cacao, is 100% real, unprocessed, fat-free cacao.
Genuine raw ceremonial cacao, whose production process took place entirely below 42 degrees Celsius. Even during fermentation, the temperature was kept low and the beans were not roasted. The production of raw ceremonial cacao requires a lot of work and is very time-consuming.
Criollo Crudo cacao has a rich and mild milk chocolate flavour with notes of light fruit and white flowers. Although in higher concentrations it can develop a powerful chocolate flavour.
This cacao of the noble Criollo variety comes from organic plantations in the Peruvian Amazon and has the EU BIO certificate, meaning it is considered organic within the EU.
Ceremonial cacao contains the energy-boosting theobromine and is therefore a healthy substitute for coffee. The effect of theobromine is much more subtle and milder than that of caffeine. It also contains anandamide, which has a calming and opening effect on the mind and heart. Therefore, ceremonial cacao improves mood and promotes creativity. Thanks to its high fat content, cacao nourishes the body well, and the minerals (magnesium, potassium) and antioxidants it contains keep our body and mind healthy and youthful.
Not without reason did the Mayans call cacao the food of the gods.

Furthermore, the high content of healthy cacao fat, theobromine and anandamide makes cacao a natural, mild stimulant.
