And Now… Chocolate!

At The Cacao Portal, we love to celebrate the creative essence that our splendid ceremonial-grade cacao gifts us with!

It’s this very spirit of exploration and artistry that has led us into an exciting new realm—chocolate. Yes, we’ve stepped beyond the traditional cacao experience and into something both grounded in our roots and elevated by imagination.

We took our specialty Ecuadorian cacao beans—complex, rich, and deeply soulful—and asked ourselves: How can we honor their essence while creating something entirely new? The answer was simple: blend them with ingredients that speak to both Ecuadorian culture and our desire for functional, inspiring indulgence.

We knew we wanted energy, not just from the cacao itself, but from something that could elevate our bodies and spirits. Enter red maca—a powerful Andean root known for its adaptogen and energizing properties. A natural companion to the cacao, red maca enhances both the flavor and the feeling, creating a chocolate that fuels your day.

And because our cacao—especially the famed Complejo Nacional variety—is known for its floral notes, we wanted to elevate that delicate side. That’s where rose petals come in. Soft, fragrant, and symbolic of heart-centered energy, rose adds a subtle lift to the chocolate’s profile, making each bite a sensory journey.

This is more than just a chocolate bar. It’s a ceremony in a square. A celebration of origin, function, and flavor. A love letter to cacao in its most inspired form.

Stay tuned as we unveil our full chocolate line—and prepare to fall in love with cacao all over again.

With heart,
The Cacao Portal Team
