We ship ChoCoaque Cacao by air to avoid harmful fumigants used in sea freight containers!

There are 3 main cultivar groups of cacao beans grown today:

Forastero, Trinitario and Criollo.

ChoCoaque Rustico Cacao Paste 'Liquor' is made from 100% Heirloom Criollo Cacao beans.

The Criollo group is the most rare and expensive of the three.

Criollo trees are difficult to grow, and account for no more than

5% of the world's cacao crop.

The chocolate made from the

Criollo bean has a delicate and complex array of flavors.

Often referred to as the “King of Cacao,” Criollo is highly prized and is used by many of the new

“micro chocolate makers.”

ChoCoaque Cacao Criollo is harvested by hand at a Single Origin on  family farms, where no slave labor is used, and the farmers continue to work on their own land, in traditional ways. 
ChoCoaque 1 pound Rustico Cacao wheels are fermented, sun dried, toasted, winnowed, ground and formed, just as the farmers make it for themselves. Nothing is added, nothing removed. Natural.
Contains 100% Cacao Butter.
