What Is Ceremonial Cacao

Ceremonial cacao is the purest form of chocolate — unrefined, unprocessed, and still humming with the spirit of the earth it grew from. Unlike commercial cocoa, which has been stripped and sweetened past recognition, ceremonial cacao keeps its full body and energetic potency intact. It’s not candy; it’s communion.
