Flavor Profile: To create this unique confection, we gently roast the large macambo nibs in pure maple sugar, allowing the sweetness to infuse deeply into every crevice. Each caramelized piece is then generously enrobed in a delicately flavored 70% Colombian dark chocolate. The chocolate’s creamy and delicate notes pair flawlessly with the rich, maple-glazed macambo for a truly sophisticated, multi-textured treat.

origins story

Discover a rare Amazonian treasure.
Experience the exquisite crunch of Jaguar Cacao (Theobroma bicolor), a wild-harvested cousin of traditional cacao. Known locally as macambo in Peru and pataxte in Mexico, these extraordinary seeds deliver a naturally buttery flavor profile reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts and macadamia nuts.

A Taste of Resilience
This exceptional treat tells a story of discovery and empowerment. On a journey to Chazuta in the Peruvian Amazon, Denise sourced this jaguar cacao directly from a local cooperative of widowed women. Supported by USAID, this resilient community successfully reclaimed peace from the threat of armed conflict, transitioning to sustainable agriculture. Your purchase directly supports their livelihoods and helps preserve a rare, heirloom botanical variety.
