Discover the unique allure of Criollo cacao, the rarest and most treasured variety of cacao in the world. Renowned for its pure origins, rich and intricate flavours, and captivating aroma, Criollo cacao stands out as a gem among cacao strains.
Despite its exceptional qualities, Criollo cacao makes up just 5% of global cacao production, emphasising its scarcity and significance. This rare cacao is especially important to indigenous communities, such as the Ashaninka, who have cultivated it for generations.
Criollo cacao thrives only under the lush canopy of the rainforest, relying on this delicate ecosystem for its growth. Protecting this precious species means safeguarding the rainforest, its home. It supports the livelihoods of local farmers and plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of our planet.
