Why Uturunku Is Different
Our Uturunku cacao now comes in convenient drops, so there is no chopping or grating. Just 100% pure, stone-ground ancestral cacao paste, unrefined, with nothing added – made the way it has been made in Peru for thousands of years.
In our biochemical analysis it showed unusually high levels of biogenic amines: tryptamine, phenylethylamine (PEA) and tryptophan. At the same time it has less than half the theobromine of our Amaru cacao, so it is calming rather than stimulating and can be enjoyed in the afternoon or evening.

Guardian of Kay Pacha
In the Andean cosmovision, Kay Pacha is the world of the here and now – nature's harmony and the living balance between all beings. The jaguar, Uturunku in Quechua, is its guardian: a protector and harmoniser who moves freely between the realms. Uturunku honours the ancient ceremonial temple of Chavín de Huántar, where cacao was used in ceremony for thousands of years.
Each cup tunes you into the frequency of the natural world.

Ingredients
100% pure organic ancestral cacao paste (Theobroma cacao) — nothing else added.
Origin: Tarapoto, Peru – grown by our Uturunku farmer Arturo Perez and his family
Process: Shade-grown in natural agroforestry • Stone-ground and unrefined • No fillers, sweeteners, stabilisers, alkalising, tempering or high-temperature heating • Tested for key bioactives • Cadmium and heavy-metal tested and safe.
Each drop is handmade and moulded into a disc 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.
