Why Amaru Is Different

Amaru is a ceremonial Criollo cacao, hand-crafted in Tocache, Peru. It is organically shade-grown and every pod is hand-selected by our farmer. Our research into it was supported by a Callaghan Innovation research grant.

It has an incredible ratio of 29:1 theobromine to caffeine, so you get long-lasting, uplifting energy without the jitters or crash of coffee. Our biochemical analysis also showed it to be potent in ethanolamides (NAEs) for feelings of bliss, polyphenols for mental clarity and tryptophan for joy.

Guardian of Ukhu Pacha

In the Andean cosmovision, Ukhu Pacha is the inner world below – the realm of our ancestors, transformation and renewal. The serpent, Amaru in Quechua, is its guardian. Amaru honours the Awajún people, whose ceremonial cacao temple at Montegrande in Jaén was built in the shape of a spiral more than 5,000 years ago, representing the union of the human spirit with the universe and our connection to the ancestors.

Each block comes blessed from the farm and directly supports the farmers and community who produce it.

Values from our product label. Because the cacao is hand-crafted, every batch differs slightly.

Ingredients

100% pure certified organic ceremonial cacao paste (Theobroma cacao L. – Criollo) — nothing else added.

Origin: Tocache, Peru – grown by our Amaru farmer Rolando and his family
Process: Shade-grown in natural agroforestry • Virgin crop, hand-selected pods • Artisanally fermented and dried below 50°C • Whole bean, stone-milled into paste • No alkalisation • No additives • Cadmium and heavy-metal tested and safe.

Packaging: 1kg block hand-wrapped in wax paper inside a cardboard box.

Each block is handmade by our farming family in Peru. Because the cacao is untempered, flavour, texture and colour can differ slightly from batch to batch, and a little white bloom on the surface is natural.

“The Amaru connects us to our roots – to the ancestors, the earth, and the cacao tree itself.”
