Our 100% Raw cacao paste comes from Esmeraldas in Ecuador. Single origin cacao, particularly from varieties like Nacional and Criollo, is superior to CCN-51 due to its rich flavor profiles and unique characteristics that reflect the terroir of its origin- which in this case is Esmereldas. While CCN-51 is a high producing variety, its focus on productivity has come at the expense of taste.
In contrast, single origin cacao is celebrated for its complex aromas and flavors, which are often floral notes, fruitiness, and a depth that enhances the chocolate experience. This diversity not only supports the fine chocolate industry but also preserves the land essential for the future of cacao cultivation. By prioritizing flavor over mere productivity, single origin cacao embodies a commitment to quality and sustainability that CCN-51 lacks.
Never roasted above 120F and regeneratively grown
By using best farming practices, they help preserve the health of our land, their families and of you, the consumer. For generations, the small farmers of Esmeraldas, have been in love with cacao. The social enterprise formed is composed of over 800 small farmers all over Esmeraldas, covering over 1000 hectares of land of cacao.
Our Cacao paste is a quality aromatic genetically “pure” bean grown on small farms or farms or farmers usually grouped in cooperatives who choose to plant less productive but more valuable varieties of cacao. It represents 5% of world production and therefore the price farmers receive is higher. Chocolate with a fine aroma and notes of roses and fruit trees.
