The Original Ceremonial Grade Cacao
The original 100% ceremonial-grade cacao, perfect for any mood or moment. Sourced directly from smallholder farms in the pristine highlands of Manabí, Ecuador, this cacao is made with 100% heirloom beans that have grown on the land for over a century. The beans are farmed using traditional methods and fermented exactingly to develop the exquisite floral and fruit notes that the Arriba Nacional variety is so prized for. They are then toasted at low heat to maintain their nutritional value and impart a satisfying richness. Simply the finest cacao we have ever tasted—we think you’ll agree.
Arriba Nacional, the heirloom variety of Ecuadorian cacao, known for its delicious floral flavors and pungent aromas is but 1% of Ecuador’s cacao production. This high vibrational variety with more sophisticated organoleptic properties is being replaced with a more homogeneous and higher yielding but less flavorful and less nutritional varieties of GMO cacao. This variety of Cacao was made with what remains of the old cacao grows still present in the province of Manabi, along the banks of the Portoviejo river.
