Ceremonial 100% Raw Cacao Pasta - Peru

This ceremonial cocoa paste, from Peru, is made from the Criollo cocoa bean, which is considered one of the best varieties of cocoa for its premium quality. It is unroasted and cold-pressed, meaning its natural flavours and nutrients are preserved. Criollo cocoa is known for its rich flavour profile with fruity and floral notes, wrapped in a creamy texture. Compared to other cocoa varieties, this variety has a particularly mild and chocolatey flavour, making it a favourite with gourmets and lovers of high-quality chocolate.

Ingredients

100% Ceremonial Raw Cacao Pasta from Peru.

Use

You can crumble and consume the cacao paste, add it to food or melt it (Cacao paste melts best au bain-marie or at a very low temperature in a pan, to prevent it from burning)

Use Ceremonially

1. Preparing the Ceremonial Room: Make sure the room in which the ceremony is taking place is clean, quiet, and free of disturbing elements. You can also purify the space with smoke from white sage or palo santo.

2. Set intentions: Before using the cocoa paste, take a moment to reflect and formulate your intentions for the ceremony. These may include personal healing, spiritual growth, or seeking answers to life's questions.

3. Preparation of the Cocoa Drink:

• Start by gently heating water or a vegetable milk in a pan. Then add the cocoa paste. The amount depends on the desired strength and the dosage per person.
• Stir the cocoa paste into the hot water or vegetable milk until it is completely dissolved. Add natural sweeteners (such as honey or maple syrup) and spices (such as chilli, cinnamon, or vanilla) to taste.
