    Artisanal Cacao

    Stone-ground. Hand-prepared. Hand-packed.
    Third-generation cacao makers. Family-owned.

Our Family Cacao Legacy: Our cacao comes directly from my family in Guatemala, a small, family-run business led by my cousin Carlos, a third-generation cacao maker. He began learning the craft from our grandmother and his mother at a young age. Today, his children work alongside him, continuing a tradition passed down through generations.Each batch is prepared with care, respect, and deep knowledge of the land and the cacao itself. This tradition is rooted in Mayan culture and in a long relationship with cacao as a plant that brings people together.Every bar reflects the character of Guatemalan cacao: earthy, bold, and full-bodied, crafted the same way our family has done for generations. Together, we honor our heritage and preserve this artisanal way of making cacao so it can be shared with future generations.

How Our Cacao Is Made

Each batch is crafted in small quantities using traditional methods:

• stone-ground to preserve natural texture and flavor
• slow-roasted at low temperatures
• minimally processed
• no additives, fillers, or industrial processing

This keeps the cacao rich in its natural oils, aroma, and character.

Our cacao is:
• 100% pure cacao
• ceremonial-grade
• not stripped or diluted
• crafted the same way our family has done for generations

This is cacao meant to be experienced, not masked.

The Taste of Guatemalan Cacao

Naturally smooth and balanced, without the harsh bitterness common in commercial dark chocolate, our cacao carries:

• earthy aroma
• bold, full-bodied flavor
• delicate natural notes
• a satisfying, grounded finish

The difference comes from stone-grinding, low-temperature roasting, and respect for the cacao itself.

Taste the difference.
Create your ritual.
Experience cacao as it was meant to be.

FAQs 2

What happens if my cacao bar gets exposed to heat?

It may “sweat” or develop a slight bloom, white or grayish streaks on the surface, but this does not affect flavor or quality. Your cacao remains rich, smooth, and delicious; the bloom is just the naturalcacao fats rising to the surface.

Do your cacao bars contain additives or preservatives?

No. All of our bars are stone-ground and made from pure, organic cacao using a 3rd-generation family recipe, with no artificial additives, preservatives, or unnecessary ingredients. The 100% bar is pure cacao, while the 60% and 80% bars include only a small amount of cane sugar for smooth, balanced flavor. What you taste is authentic, handcrafted chocolate in its most natural form.
