Criollo Cacao is internationally recognized as the rarest and highest-quality cacao variety in the world. Often referred to as “the king of cacao”, it is prized not for bitterness or intensity, but for its smoothness, clarity, and depth of flavor.
What is Criollo Cacao?
Criollo represents less than 5% of global cacao production. It is grown in limited regions and requires careful cultivation, making it a truly premium raw material.
It is known for:
• low acidity
• minimal bitterness
• a naturally aromatic, refined profile
This is the cacao chosen by fine chocolatiers and those who value purity over mass production.
A flavor that stands apart
Unlike conventional cacao, Criollo offers:
• soft chocolate notes
• subtle earthy and lightly fruity aromas
• a clean, elegant finish
It doesn’t rely on sugar. Its quality speaks for itself.
Nutritional value & well-being
Criollo Cacao is a natural source of:
• magnesium
• antioxidant polyphenols
• theobromine, offering gentle, clean stimulation without nervousness
It supports:
• mood balance
• mental clarity
• natural energy
This is why it is often used in ceremonial cacao, wellness drinks, and mindful nutrition practices.
Who is it for?
Criollo Cacao is ideal for:
• those who value clean, high-quality ingredients
• people avoiding excessive sugar
• individuals connecting nutrition with well-being
• anyone seeking true quality, not just cacao
Why choose Criollo?
Because it’s not just cacao.
It’s an experience.
It’s a ritual.
It’s a return to cacao in its most authentic form.
