Organic Ceremonial Grade Cacao – 100% chocolate, unsweetened (2.2 lb / 35 Servings)

Let me start by saying that I am not a cacao aficionado, but I really do enjoy the taste and texture of this beautiful chocolate. It makes a very soothing cup of chocolate that I can relax with and enjoy in the evenings. Please refer to my pictures to see what it looks like on the inside. Enjoy!

I never order my cacao from Amazon but was in a bind and needed more before a gathering I was hosting and quick. My usual supplier who I get cacao from Guatemala from couldn’t ship out in time. I serve cacao weekly, have for 5 years now, and have tried many different kinds. I actually really enjoyed the taste of this cacao and was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t have high expectations it coming from Amazon if I’m completely honest. It exceeded expectations and I think I’ll actually order it again sometime.

We used it for a Cacao Ceremony. Our regular supplier was not in town, and we had to take the risk. It was easy to melt, with no tedious blending and extra work. I have tasted so many “ceremonial cacaos” from all over - this one was richer, and we could feel our heart opening with each sip. Of course, that invites the Cacao spirit to do its magic and lead you into the journey. We do believe that the energy of the leader and how the leader holds containers is a essence to a cacao ceremonial experience. We loved it and will keep buying! And I love the fact it comes from my home country ECUADOR 🇪🇨 🥰 Love shamans and priestess 💃

I think this is the first time I’m ever writing a poor review on Amazon. I try to find the good in everything, but this was a true disappointment. I’ve ordered from Cacao Laboratory directly in the past and needed to restock as soon as possible so I ordered from Amazon to get it next day. The packing was loose and not air tight sealed like from company direct and the coloring of the cacao was discolored. I’ve been using Cacao Laboratory cacao for over 2 years now and never have I had a problem with the cacao blending into the hot water to make a creamy smooth texture. This almost wouldn’t melt and was an uncomfortable texture and experience. The aromatic scent wasn’t as rich as in the past when I’ve ordered direct either. This isn’t a cheap product and it’s unfortunate that I can’t return it.

Real Cacao --- This is the 'genuine article'. However, it's a bit overpriced.

Excellent quality . Rich and flavorful .

I have been using this brand for my Cacao ceremonies for a year now! The taste is rich and just so perfect!

It comes in a block and I enjoy the process of cutting it and putting it in a special container I have for my ceremonial cacao. I am super bummed that the company raised the price by $15 since I ordered it last, so I probably won’t be purchasing again.
