CRIOLLO “HEIRLOOM”

Criollo is a rare heirloom cacao variety, prized for its delicate flavour and rich cultural significance. Often referred to as the “Queen of Cacao,” it represents less than 5% of global cacao production. In 2015, a selection of farms in San Antonio, Santa Elena, and Pueblo Viejo (part of the Maya Mountain Cacao network in Belize) received official recognition from the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Project (HCP). This designation affirms the cacao’s exceptional botanical, historical, geographical, and flavour value. Maya Mountain Cacao has also been ranked among the Top 20 cacaos in the world, a testament to the deep care, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage woven into every bean. Grown and harvested in community with the Earth, heirloom Criollo cacao is truly a gem of the cacao world, offering not only exquisite taste, but a tangible link to ancient traditions.

Cacao is sacred in the ancient lands of the Maya, revered for thousands of years as a plant medicine for the physical, mental, and spiritual body. To this day, its profound spiritual and wellness benefits continue to be honoured around the world.

Upon arriving in the Netherlands, these special beans are lovingly blended & packaged by our social working team. Here, people who might not meet society’s usual work expectations (because of physical or mental disabilities) come together to share their skills and be part of something amazing! This partnership reinforces our dedication to using social and ethical practices across our entire supply chain.

A true sustainable ethical premium Ceremonial Cacao block, to be shared with your own community,- passing on the love from Bean to Cup

***To protect this rare and endangered cacao variety (now under threat from large-scale cacao corporations) and to support the livelihoods of Indigenous Maya families, these special beans are purchased at a premium price. This ensures ethical, sustainable sourcing while preserving cultural heritage and biodiversity.

Cacao is always best when consumed straight after opening and when shared with loved ones. Otherwise, you best off storing it in a cool and dry place far far away from any other cacao lover 😉 

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.
