Rich in antioxidants
Afternoon pick-me-up

Ceremonial cacao in its finest form. Stone ground in small batches in Tasmania, made from 100% heirloom, organic and ethically sourced Peruvian cacao beans. Unlike other cacao products, ceremonial cacao is made from the whole bean, that’s 100% cacao bean bursting with antioxidants and flavonoids. Wild Craft ceremonial cacao is rich and delicious like no other and comes in easy-to-use blocks. Ceremonial cacao can assist in meditation, adding a heart-warming ritual to your practice. Or it is quite simply the most delectable afternoon or evening pick-me-up.

For reference:
- 200g block makes approximately 10 hot chocs
- 500g block makes approximately 25 hot chocs

Alternatively, BUNDLE + SAVE with maca and collagen bundles here.

Ingredients

100% Organic Cacao (Theobroma Cacao).

Directions

Combine your Ceremonial Cacao with water or milk, both will produce a deliciously creamy drink. I recommend blending for an even creamier and frothier result! (Just make sure your blender is heat safe).

A Ceremonial dose starts at approximately 40 grams.

Recipes

For a deliciously simple hot cacao recipe:

2 tbsp ceremonial cacao (~20g)
1 cup of heated coconut milk (or milk of choice)
1 tsp coconut sugar

Stir, whisk or blend for a delicious and nourishing drink.

Storage

Store your cacao in an airtight container, in a cool, dark place such as your pantry. A Tupperware container will do the trick.

Why has my cacao changed colour and/or texture?

This is perfectly normal behaviour for ceremonial cacao and is called 'cacao bloom'. Rest assured, it does not affect the taste, texture, quality or shelf life of your cacao.

Ceremonial cacao is untempered, meaning that the cacao butter crystal structure changes over time with changes in temperature and environment. Should your cacao come to resemble an aero bar for example, if it was to be remelted and dried again, it would go back to it's original dark colour and texture, until the cacao butter crystals change again.

Creamy perfection

I recently purchased a few of these for gifts, and one for myself. As a self-labelled chocoholic and connoisseur of all things hot chocolate, this little beauty caught my eye! It really is a ceremony making this divine drink. Lovingly scraping the right amount of cacao, heating the milk (I use oat) and adding in a bit of coconut sugar...the result being a taste for the senses! The most creamy, thick, delicious choc flavour ever! I found the longer I left it the thicker it got, so you can thin it down if that's your preference. Makes a gorgeous gift too and was well received. This is my night-time luxury and I adore it.

Isn't it just divine Kirsten and the perfect give! What a wonderful ritual you have with the ceremonial cacao. Thank you for taking the time to share. Enjoy! x
