Our Heritage Harvest Granulated Cacao is crafted exclusively from the Arriba Nacional heirloom variety. Sourced from the ancient cacao trees that line the serene banks of the Portoviejo River in Manabí, our cacao offers a unique glimpse into a rarer, more authentic flavor profile that is quickly vanishing from the world. Arriba Nacional is celebrated for its exceptional floral flavors and deep, pungent aromas—qualities that make up only 1% of Ecuador’s cacao production. Unlike the common powdered forms, our cacao is granulated and lightly processed, preserving the full fat of the fruit to maintain its alluring flavor and maximum nutritional benefits. This method ensures a richer, more vibrant cacao experience that honors the tradition and craft of Ecuadorian chocolate making. How to Enjoy: Perfect for brewing a traditional hot cacao or use it to elevate your food, smoothies, or morning ritual into an exotic flavor journey.
