We hereby present to you our delightful Ceremonial Cacao.

In this pouch of pure cocoa love, you will find our finest ceremonial cocoa from beautiful Ecuador.

The ceremonial cocoa from Banfield Coffee and Chocolate is 100% raw and fermented. Being raw means that the cocoa has not been roasted and combined with sugar and fats. Instead, this cocoa naturally contains cocoa butter which gives it an exquisite, smooth, and full-bodied taste.

This is an exquisite ceremonial cocoa made from Ecuadorian Arriba Nacional Criollo beans. This bean is famous for its unique aroma and flavor, representing one of the world's finest and oldest aromatic cocoa beans.

This cocoa from Banfield Coffee and Chocolate is sustainably traded through direct-trade partnerships in Ecuador and is 100% organically grown.

Since our cocoa is in its purest form, you can use it as ceremonial cocoa, but it's entirely up to you. You can also simply enjoy it as a warm cup of delightful "Drink of the Gods" - Your choice.

Our 100% raw fermented ceremonial cocoa paste comes in convenient pieces in a 500g pouch.
