Ceremonial Cacao Paste 1kg | Virgin & Pure Quality Ceremonial Grade Cacao | Ethically Sourced Premium Chocolate | Vegan, Gluten, & GMO Free | Packaged in 100% Plastic-Free Compostable Bags |

I ordered this cacao paste to try as it was cheaper than the raw cacao. I've been making raw cacao daily, and having it as part of my 5 mins to be mindful (I regularly attend cacao ceremonies). I've kept it up as I like the little 5 mins of mindfulness but I've also found it's massively helped me curb my sugar cravings. Since I've kept up the practise, I've barely ate chocolate or sweet treats. I did a bit of research and the paste is different from the chunks. From what I've read it says that it's made from ground cacao nibs and has a higher oil content/is thicker. (Where as raw caco is made from the whole bean and is more earthy/acidic). I actually really like how the paste tastes. It's creamer and I'd say it was more chocoaltely tasting, it also melts better and you're not left with any gritty bits in the bottom of the mug . It does come in a bag with pieces but they're a little different to raw cacao. It looks like there are ribbons or bands of lighter colours throughout the paste, like when you a chocolate bar that's separated in the heat. I believe that those bands are the oils within the paste. You do still need to chop (or grate) the paste as it comes in solid pieces. I think some people have bought this thinking it comes as a paste (as in mushy/ not hard). If you're trying to decide between paste or raw cacao chunks, the decision really depends on what you want to achieve. If it comes down to price, then paste wins hands down. If it's about purity or rawness I think paste is slightly more 'processed'. Personally I'm more likely to buy this from now on to drink daily. I might buy some raw cacao for times when I want to do my own mini ceremony/ ritual. I highly recommend this paste and think it's great value for money.

Great cacao paste in chunks

This is such good value compared to other ceremonial grade cacao I have tried and its so creamy and tasty. Probably the creamiest I have tried yet. Very bubbly light texture when chopping, mixes easily with little residue and smells divine! I was recommended this by a friend and I'll definitely buy it again. Sometimes I add a little fresh garden mint for flavour and it goes beautifully.

Good but should cost twice less

This is the same price as other ceremonial grade cacao out there, however the product is. in my opinion superior. As soon as I opened the packet and saw the product I knew it would be good. It's gorgeously grainy and marbly in appearance, and a wonderful colour too. The taste doesn't have the bitter bite of the other products I've tried, I can nibble it raw, or have homely, hot chocolate with it. I have ordered another larger bag, it's now my go to, won't be buying any other on Amazon.

Good product

Very happy with quality of product but this is my second order and both times I’ve ordered paste and received chunks.

Today I had my first drink from this brand. The chocolate was very marbled, rich and creamy. Way better than my previous brand and equally as cost friendly. Delicious, gentle, warming and worth a purchase
