Important to note to keep your cacao away from moisture so you can prolong the shelf life to two years or even longer!
Additionally, ceremonial cacao, being a natural product without the preservatives often found in commercial chocolate, may be more susceptible to changes in texture over time as its a very sensitive for moist and temperature change! However if your cacao is melted it is still oke to use and still contains all its properties.

Ceremonial cacao is packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall health, including bone health, cardiovascular function, and immune support.
Cacao contains compounds like theobromine, anandamide, and phenylethylamine, which can improve mood, promote feelings of well-being, and enhance mental clarity. These compounds stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin, often referred to as “feel-good” hormones.
