MEXICO Single-Origin Criollo Cacao - Casa del Cacao

Dominique Scott This ceremonial cacao, crafted from hand-harvested Criollo beans from Mexico, delivers a deep, bold flavour that remains remarkably smooth and balanced. Its rich, earthy notes and nutritional benefits can be enjoyed either by snacking on raw pieces (oh yes- straight up) or preparing a warm drink. I love melting this stone ground cacao into hot water, then adding a dash of milk and a pinch of cinnamon. I’m so impressed by the conservation efforts behind the growing and harvesting of this brand’s cacao- from off-grid operations and organic farming to agroforestry, water conservation, and rainforest rehabilitation initiatives. Truly inspiring!Casey-Lee Lyons The cacao itself is simply gorgeous, in taste, in texture and the ritualistic moment it offers. I love that the brand sources single origin, organic and is hand harvested. The brands eco-conscious commitment to sustainability and organic farming is also commendable.Katherine Hay When I drank this for the first time it was smooth and delicious. The brand as a whole has a great commitment to the environment and it’s impact. I think this is great when considering a product like cacao!
