Natural paste (cacao mass) made from ground cacao beans (theobroma cacao), also known as ceremonial cacao, is 100% real, unprocessed, non-fat 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. Producing raw ceremonial cacao requires a lot of work and is very time-consuming.
Baya Crudo cacao has an exceptionally delicate yet rich flavour dominated by milk chocolate. It has an intense hint of black berries, with hazelnuts and cardamom gently peeking in the background. The cacao is not sour, but actually sweet in flavour.
This cacao is grown on a sustainable, permaculture and organic plantation (we have visually inspected it), if only it had EU certification it could be successfully called organic or BIO cacao.
The plantation is located in Guatemala in the picturesque and evergreen Polochic Valley, through which the river of the same name flows. The plantation grows the noble and rare Criollo cacao variety along with cardamom in the spirit of permaculture.
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.
