Holy Wow Ceremonial Cacao – Rio Dulce, Guatemala
100% pure, whole-bean ceremonial cacao. Nothing added, nothing removed.
Holy Wow Cacao is grown by family farms in Guatemala and traditionally prepared in small batches near Lake Atitlán. The cacao is fire-roasted, hand-peeled by a women’s collective in Tzununá, stone-ground into a rich paste, and pressed into blocks.
Known for centuries as the “Food of the Gods,” cacao is more than a beverage. Prepared with intention, it can become a beautiful ritual—a moment to slow down, be present, and connect more deeply with yourself.
Río Dulce Variety
Bright, fruity, floral. Tropical notes of honey and pineapple with a warm peppery finish. Lowland jungle cacao grown along "Sweet River." Soft, smooth and feminine energetic qualities.
What Makes It Ceremonial Grade?
Unlike cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao is made from the whole cacao bean, preserving its naturally occurring cacao butter along with theobromine, minerals, flavanols and other plant compounds.
Holy Wow takes a traditional, hands-on approach:
- Fire-roasted over an open flame in small batches
- Hand-peeled by a women’s collective in Tzununá
- Stone-ground into a rich cacao paste
- Pressed into blocks rather than processed into cocoa powder
- 100% pure cacao with nothing added
The result is a rich, minimally processed cacao that honors the traditions, people and places behind it.
