About this ingredient
Sourced at origin — crafted for professionals.
Experience the finest Peruvian Cacao Beans, sourced from the lush Amazon rainforest in the Ucayali region. Cultivated by a dedicated group of 140 farmers, these beans represent a sustainable effort to reforest lands previously damaged by mining camps. Grown at altitudes of 100–1,000 meters with ideal conditions of 24–30°C and 80% humidity, they embody premium cacao cultivation.

These fermented and sun-dried beans deliver a unique fine-flavor profile, perfect for bean-to-bar chocolate making and culinary creations.
