Organic Criollo Cacao Butter
Our ceremonial Criollo cacao is harvested in Satipo, a region in the center of Peru, in the department of Junin. Our Ashaninka producers from the Ene River ensure the quality of Ecoandino’s organic criollo cacao.
Ceremonial criollo cacao is a variety highly valued for its unique flavor and aroma characteristics, and is considered a cultural and gastronomic treasure.
In addition to its cultural value, ceremonial criollo cacao also has health benefits due to its high content of antioxidants and other compounds that may help improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
After obtaining the cocoa paste or liquor, the next step is to press it, where we extract the highest percentage of fat converted into liquid. This liquid is then tempered and turned into cocoa butter. Our cacao butter is naturally pure, with no additives, and is not deodorized.
