🌳 Origin: A Deep Collaboration  This precious, rare, and unique Fino de Aroma cacao grows in the heart of the natural biosphere of the Jiquilisco Bay, in the province of Usulután, El Salvador, where for decades, a thriving, sustainable, and respectful Fino de Aroma cacao cultivation has been cultivated using precious ancestral genetics. Each bean comes from a sincere collaboration with those who cultivate this unique and regenerative plantation, where biodiversity and agroforestry intertwine.

Why Pure Cacao?
Considered sacred by ancient Mesoamerican peoples, cacao offers valuable nutrients for the nervous system and emotional well-being. Rich in antioxidant flavonoids and tryptophan, it supports serotonin production for a mood-enhancing effect and activates anandamide, the "bliss molecule," providing a sense of well-being.
