Heirloom Arriba Nacional Cacao
-
These trees have more robust, non-domesticated genetics
-
Only 1% of the entire world's cacao production is Arriba Nacional
-
The other 99% of cacao production comes from plantation-grown heavily hybridized varieties that can't compare to the flavor and overall experience of Arriba Nacional.
Wild Jungle Grown
-
Ethically sourced: the caretakers of these trees are paid 3-4x fair trade prices, which incentives them to be good stewards of the jungle.
-
The cacao comes from 40-80 year old wild trees in a jungle environment, grown in mineral-rich soil - never from a mono-cropped plantation farm.
Mycotoxin-Free Raw Cacao
-
The cacao beans are fermented using traditional techniques and dried very carefully and in small batches to ensure temperature control and to prevent the growth of mold and formation of mycotoxins.
-
The cacao is raw, never roasted, so all heat sensitive beneficial compounds remain intact.

Organic Wild Raw Arriba Nacional Cacao
We use only the heirloom variety Arriba Nacional cacao which comprises less than 1% of chocolate production in the world.
Our cacao is wild-harvested in the jungles of Ecuador and has been shown by laboratory testing to be free of mycotoxins. (These mold toxins are a huge problem with almost all chocolate products!)
The cacao is fermented using traditional methods and slowly stone ground over a period of 10-12 hours to make it wonderfully smooth and also keep temperatures low. At all steps along the way, the cacao is kept below 118ºF to preserve the integrity of heat-sensitive nutrients and neurotransmitters.
Organic Allulose
Allulose is a naturally occurring, low-calorie sweetener found in fruits like figs and raisins. Despite its sweet taste, allulose is absorbed by the body but not metabolized, making it virtually calorie-free. This natural sugar alternative doesn't spike blood sugar or insulin levels, making it an excellent choice for those managing their glycemic index.
Its taste and texture closely mimic regular sugar, allowing for indulgent yet healthy treats. Enjoy the sweet benefits of allulose in our chocolates without the guilt!
Organic Monk Fruit Extract
Organic monk fruit extract is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the monk fruit, also known as luo han guo. This small, green melon has been used for centuries in Asia not just as a sweetener, but as a powerful lung tonic to moisten the lungs, clear away heat, and relieve coughing.
The extract is incredibly sweet, thanks to natural compounds called mogrosides, which are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Unlike conventional sweeteners, monk fruit extract doesn't raise blood sugar levels, making it ideal for those seeking a healthy, natural alternative.
Icelandic Sea Salt
This sea salt comes from the area of Rejkanes, Iceland, where they have some of the cleanest, most pristine seas you'll ever find. The salt is procured using a method that has been in practice here for hundreds of years!
The heat to dry the salt comes exclusively from the local hot geyser water. The use of geothermal energy means that this salt leaves no carbon footprint.
How does sea salt compare to Himalayan salt? Himalayan salt has a few more different minerals, but the overall levels of minerals in sea salt are dramatically higher.
