Pure Raw Cacao Paste.
We belief is that cacao consumption should be both enjoyable and beneficial. To support this, we use high-quality cacao beans, specifically single-origin Arriba Nacional, obtained from producer partners in Ecuador, which is known as cacao's historical origin.
So-called raw cacao paste is usually made with fermented, unroasted cacao beans, making it less processed but not truly unprocessed. Another name for this product is chocolate liquor. Cacao paste is also commonly used in ritual cacao preparations. Ceremonial cacao is ideally prepared and consumed in cacao ceremonies in a manner that honors the traditions and cultures of those who inspired them.
What is Bee Bread?
Simply put, bee bread is fermented pollen that bees store in the comb to feed young bees of the colony in spring. It is a mixture of pollen, honey, and enzymes, stored in cells. The cells are sealed with wax, and the fermentation process happens in the presence of lactic acid bacteria and the warm temperatures in the hive during the summer months. This process is very similar to the fermentation of yoghurt or sauerkraut. Fermentation is what gives the bee bread its slightly sour taste and what makes the nutrients easier to digest and absorb. Bee bread, unlike synthetic vitamins, is produced naturally and is fully absorbed by the human body.

Please Note:
Bee bread is generally safe and healthy to use. However, some people may occasionally experience minor gastrointestinal irritation and a laxative effect due to the richness of the product. Bee pollen and honey may be allergenic products in some cases, but bee bread is less likely to cause allergic reactions because it is already fermented.
People who are allergic to honey and bee pollen may also be allergic to bee bread. In some cases, pregnant or lactating women and individuals with high blood pressure may also have allergic reactions to bee bread.
Cocoa may experience blooming as a result of temperature changes during storage and transportation. This phenomenon can create a white or grayish layer on the surface, which may give it an aged appearance and a slightly grainy texture. It is important to understand that blooming is a normal occurrence and does not indicate a defect or flaw in the product.
