Ceremony Collection

What makes this cacao ceremonial grade? 

There is no official standard or certification for ceremonial grade cacao. To ensure you are getting cacao of the highest quality produced ethically and sustainably, it's important to know not only the brand, but the producer and the farmer.

At Choco Estates, we are the farmers and producers who work with cacao every day.

To us, ceremonial grade means:

  • Heirloom and ancestral varieties of cacao, shade grown in forest gardens like the Nacional cacao we grow

  • Trees cultivated by us from seed, carefully tended according to the moon cycle

  • Seeds carefully fermented and sun dried onsite 

  • Fire roasted and hand shelled, by skilled people instead of machines

  • Stone ground, Poured, molded, and wrapped by hand 

Everyone involved in the process is treated with dignity and paid a just wage
