Ceremonial Grade Cacao by Cacao Love - “Not all cacao is ethically sourced, and one of the things we value about Cacao Love is that from seed to ceremony, we work only with indigenous growers on family-owned plots of land. Our cacao is grown as part of a diverse forest ecosystem and the families we work with are able to live entirely from their forests in the Central Highlands of Peru. For these growers, our purchases contribute towards a truly regenerative economy: sharing profits, harvests, and economic gain with those in the community.”
