Organic Cacao Paste from Ecuador: on the gentle hills of Ecuador’s Pacific Coast lies Hacienda Victoria, a single-estate farm in Cerecita, Guayas. Established in 2011, it has transformed once dry forest into thriving agroforestry, a biodiverse haven where the rare Nacional Arriba cacao bean is lovingly preserved. Their mission is to honour this heritage while showing how cacao can be cultivated as a force for positive change. In the cup, this cacao is smooth and balanced, with low acidity and minimal astringency. Its flavour unfurls like a buttery chocolate croissant, layered with nutty undertones and the golden sweetness of salted caramel, deeply nourishing and satisfying!
