origins story

Denise discovered Theobroma bicolor when she visited Chazuta in the Amazon of Peru. It is in the same family as cacao and has many names: In Peru it is macambo. In Mexico it is pataxte, but informally called “jaguar cacao”. It is wild harvested from the Amazon with flavors of hazelnut and macadamia and a soft crunch. Denise purchased jaguar cacao directly from a widowed womens’ chocolate cooperative in Chazuta. With the help of USAID, their community reclaimed peace from the threat of armed conflict. We sprinkle the jaguar cacao nibs onto our Arhuacos 68% dark chocolate as a symbol of hope. Also, victims of conflict, the Arhuacos reclaimed their spiritual land after fifty years of isolation at higher altitudes.

Meet Mamo Hernán

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, or the "Heart of the World," is sacred to the Arhuaco people. Mamo Hernán stewards the community's cacao with reverence, adhering to principles that honor its spiritual significance. By preserving native varieties and avoiding monoculture, Arhuacos maintain a harmonious relationship with the Earth. For the Arhuacos, cacao is more than a crop – it's a connection to their ancestral territory, which they heal and protect through devoted care.
