Cacao Paste - Arriba Nacional, Organic
UPDATE! We just received a small quantity of our extremely rare and sought after Arriba Nacional Cacao Paste from Ecuador! We have been out of stock and many of you, like us, have been missing this for 10+ months. For now, it is only available in 8 oz. bags until we receive our next shipment. Unfortunately, as you can see, the price of cacao is at an all time high due to cacao shortages worldwide and inventory is very limited. This precious paste is meant to be savored - enjoy!
Our organic cacao paste is made from deeply flavorful, heirloom variety cacao beans. The cacao pods are hand-selected for quality beans, which are sun-dried then lightly fermented to bring out the rich, aromatic flavor. The cacao is stone-ground below 120 degrees into a smooth paste. The cacao butter and powder are never separated from the bean. No other ingredients are added. This is the purest, unsweetened, raw cacao available.
Melt and use to make raw truffles, brittle, bliss balls and more.
