Crafted with reverence in the heart of the Peruvian Andes, our ceremonial-grade cacao block is made from wild-grown cacao—untouched by pesticides or industrial processing. This is cacao in its purest, most potent form: stone-ground, unrefined, and full of soul.

We source directly from Indigenous families who have worked with cacao for generations. Grown in sacred, remote regions, each bean is hand-harvested, fermented, sun-dried, and transformed with intention and care into a dense, rich paste. Unlike cacao powder, our cacao is never defatted—preserving its natural oils, integrity, and spirit.

Our 8 oz ceremonial cacao block, as our coins, is perfect for crafting a grounding daily ritual or holding space in sacred ceremony. When melted into warm water, it creates a velvety, nourishing drink known for its ability to open the heart, elevate the mood, and bring clarity to the mind.

Why Our Cacao Is Different:

  • Wild-Grown & Naturally Organic – No monoculture, no chemicals.

  • Ceremonial Grade – Not a powder, not processed—this is the whole cacao bean, as nature intended.

  • Ethically Sourced – Supporting Indigenous families and preserving cultural traditions.

  • Rich in Nutrients – Iron, magnesium, antioxidants, and heart-opening theobromine.

  • Artisanally Crafted – Small batch micro-lots and made with love.

Whether you're sipping it slowly in quiet reflection or sharing it in circle with community, this cacao invites you to drop in, connect, and remember.

Vegan • Unsweetened • Gluten-Free • Soy-Free • Single-Ingredient

ORDER NOW and taste the magic of ancestral cacao. Brew it with love, stir with intention, and sip with gratitude.

Note: This ceremonial cacao block is untempered, which means it may develop a white or light-colored coating known as fat bloom—a natural separation of cacao butter that can occur with changes in temperature. This is completely normal and does not affect the quality, taste, or potency of the cacao.

We’ve intentionally kept this block untempered to honor its traditional preparation and to make it easy to cut, shave, or melt for your rituals and recipes.

Because our cacao is pure and minimally processed, it may soften or melt during transit during warmer months. Don’t worry—this is expected, and it’s still perfectly good to use. We've designed the shape and packaging to handle summer shipping without needing insulation or cold packs which means more affordable shipping for you!

Can I drink Cacao Adventures Cacao?

Anyone can!

While ceremonial grade cacao is generally safe for consumption, it's essential to be mindful of individual sensitivities and allergies. Most people can enjoy ceremonial grade cacao without any issues, but those with severe allergies to cacao or related ingredients should exercise caution. Additionally, pregnant or nursing women, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions, may want to consult with a healthcare professional before consuming ceremonial grade cacao. As with any food or beverage, moderation is key, and it's essential to listen to your body's signals and adjust consumption accordingly.

How does Cacao Adventures Cacao differ from Cacao Powder?

Ceremonial grade cacao and cacao powder vary in quality, use, and flavor. Ceremonial grade cacao is meticulously sourced for its exceptional purity and richness, often reserved for ceremonial rituals or premium cacao drinks due to its nuanced flavor profile and potential health benefits. In contrast, cacao powder is a more processed form, commonly used in cooking, baking, or making hot chocolate, offering a rich chocolate taste but without the same complexity as ceremonial grade cacao.

Why is it a good alternative to coffee?

Ceremonial grade cacao presents a compelling alternative to coffee due to its smoother energy boost from theobromine, which avoids the jitters and crashes often associated with caffeine. Rich in antioxidants and nutrients, ceremonial cacao offers potential health benefits including improved mood and focus, alongside supporting cardiovascular health. Its unique flavor profile and ritualistic qualities provide a sensory experience that fosters relaxation, connection, and mindfulness, making it a nourishing choice for both body and spirit.

Some children may be more sensitive to caffeine or theobromine found in cacao, so monitoring their intake and observing any adverse reactions is important. As with any food or beverage, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific concerns about your child's consumption of ceremonial grade cacao.

It is hot chocolate?
