Superior Ceremonial Cocoa Mexico EL VADO

Mexican ceremonial cacao from the El Vado region is a rare terroir product, grown in a small mountain community on the slopes of the Sierra Madre (350 m above sea level). Here, cacao is cultivated by only about 150 residents, preserving traditions passed down from generation to generation. Rich soils, a humid tropical climate, and manual processing create cacao with a bright, dessert-like flavor and natural energy.

Cacao from El Vado belongs to Mexican Trinitario lines with a pronounced influence of ancient Criollo, characteristic of the southern regions of Mexico. This genetics is known for its dessert sweetness, softness, and a complex fruity profile. Trinitario from Chiapas is distinguished by a clean taste, the absence of sharp acidity, and bright plum-banana notes, which makes it especially suitable for ceremonial drinks.

Mexican cacao has a dessert-like, soft taste reminiscent of chocolate ice cream. The palette harmoniously combines:

• the sweetness of ripe plum

• notes of dried banana

• light herbal nuances that add freshness and a sense of vitality

The profile is round, rich, without bitterness.

Cacao is grown on small family plots located on hard-to-reach mountain slopes. Farmers use traditional methods of fermentation and natural drying, preserving the natural taste and energetic value of cacao. Production supports local communities and helps preserve the region’s cultural heritage.
