CEREMONIAL CACAO FROM PERU: AN ANCESTRAL TREASURE FROM AMAZON ANDES

ATTRIBUTES OF CACAO CRIOLLO

Criollo cacao, known as the “king of cacao,” is prized for its superior flavor and health benefits. This variety of cacao contains high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including magnesium, iron, and zinc. These properties make it a superfood that not only nourishes the body but also enhances mental and emotional well-being. Criollo cacao is distinguished by its delicate flavor and complex aromatic notes of caramel, nuts, and vanilla, making it ideal for ceremonial and culinary uses.

CEREMONIAL AND SPIRITUAL USE

Our ceremonial cacao is used in ancestral rituals to promote heart opening, emotional healing, and spiritual connection. AMAZON ANDES ensures that its ceremonial cacao is prepared traditionally with minimal intervention in its processing to maintain its properties intact. During a ceremony, the cacao is consumed in the form of pure paste prepared with hot water, ready to fully satisfy its consumer.

The objectives of its use include:

  • Heart opening: Cacao is believed to have the ability to open the heart, facilitating emotional connection and empathy.
  • Emotional healing: It helps release repressed emotions and process past experiences.
  • Spiritual connection: It facilitates meditation and introspection, helping individuals connect with their essence and the universe.

In addition to the hot beverage (the main form of use worldwide), to take advantage of its nutritional and spiritual properties, our ceremonial cacao paste can also be used for:

  • Truffles and desserts: In gourmet pastry, preserving the purity of cacao.
  • Smoothies and shakes: For an energetic and nutritious boost in healthy diets.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR CACAO?

The main difference between ceremonial cacao and regular cacao lies in its processing and purity. AMAZON ANDES’ ceremonial cacao is whole and undergoes minimal processing, preserving all its bioactive compounds. In contrast, regular cacao is often over-processed and mixed with additives, significantly reducing its health benefits and especially its spiritual value.

GLOBAL DEMAND

Our ceremonial cacao is highly sought after in markets worldwide that prioritize well-being and spirituality. Countries such as the United States, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Trinidad and Tobago, among others, are significant consumers of this type of cacao used both in ceremonies and in the production of chocolate, gourmet products, and health foods. The growing popularity of practices like mindfulness and yoga has further driven its demand as many people seek foods that nourish not only the body but also the spirit.
