⚠️ Stock Update – December 2025
We’re very sorry that our Cacao Butter and Cacao Liquor have been unavailable for much of this year. Due to a poor harvest in Peru in 2025 (April–August, the main harvest season), our regular supplier has been unable to provide stock, and it now looks unlikely that we’ll receive our usual supply until May 2026.

In the meantime, we’re exploring alternative sources. We’ve found a high-quality replacement for our Cacao Liquor, which is now available on the website. We’re still working to secure a suitable source for Cacao Butter.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to bring these essentials back into stock.

Important Price Note

Due to recent turbulence in the cacao market and significant price increases, we cannot guarantee stable pricing at this time. However, if supply issues subside, we are committed to lowering our prices again as soon as possible.

Cacao Liquor Peruvian - Truly Raw, Pure and Unrefined | Ceremonial-Grade Cacao

Our truly raw cacao liquor is made by pressing whole cacao beans and gently warming them at very low temperatures until they form a rich, aromatic paste. This is the purest form of cacao—unrefined, unseparated, and retaining all the natural fats, antioxidants, and nutrients of the whole bean.

Unlike most cacao products that claim to be raw, ours is guaranteed truly raw, meaning that during processing, it is never exposed to high heat. This results in a more crumbly texture and a slightly more bitter flavor than conventionally processed cacao liquor, preserving its full nutritional integrity.

How Our Cacao Liquor is Made

Our cacao liquor is carefully produced to ensure maximum purity and nutrient retention. The process includes:

• Selecting the finest Peruvian cacao beans
• Washing, disinfecting, and air-drying them naturally
• De-husking, pulverizing & grinding the beans into a paste
• Cold-pressing and molding to preserve its raw integrity
• Testing for heavy metals to ensure purity
• Packing immediately for freshness and quality

Nutritional Benefits of Cacao Liquor

Cacao liquor is one of the richest natural sources of antioxidants and polyphenols, helping to reduce inflammation, support heart health, and enhance overall well-being. It is packed with healthy fats, magnesium, iron, and theobromine, which can help boost mood, improve cognitive function, and provide sustained energy.

What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial cacao is simply a term for high-quality, whole-bean South American cacao liquor—also known as cacao paste. All of Raw Living’s cacao is ceremonial-grade, meaning it is sourced and processed with care, making it ideal for cacao ceremonies, meditation, or deep nourishment.

The Purest Cacao Experience

If you care about your cacao being truly raw, you will appreciate the difference in our product. Unlike most cacao liquor that undergoes higher temperatures in processing, ours remains cold-pressed and minimally processed, preserving the full energetic and nutritional profile of the cacao bean.

Raw Living’s truly raw cacao liquor—pure, potent, and full of life.

Kate Magic says, "Making my own homemade raw chocolate is pretty much a weekly ritual, and this cacao liquor is my favourite way to do it. I melt it along with a little extra cacao butter or coconut oil, then add sweeteners like cane juice crystals and stevia, and include my favourite superfoods - maybe Ormus Gold, E3 AFA or 8 Mushroom. Raw chocolate always tastes best when its freshly made!"
