What Is Ceremonial Cacao & My Favorite Recipe🤎

Ceremonial cacao is more than just a pure form of chocolate. It’s a practice rooted in tradition, care, and curiosity. Because the term isn’t officially defined or protected, understanding what truly makes cacao “ceremonial” can be a bit confusing. This blogpost is the result of my own exploration into that question. What I’ve learned is that ceremonial cacao is about more than the bean itself. It’s about where it’s grown, how it’s processed, and the intention behind it. With roots in ancient Mesoamerican cultures and a focus on ethical sourcing, it invites us to slow down, connect, and honor both the plant and its history.
