We’ve secured a small batch of ceremonial-grade raw Peruvian cacao, grown sustainably and naturally. Supplies are extremely limited. At Raw Living we never compromise on quality — although we were offered lower-grade cacao liquor and butter, we waited until we could bring you cacao that truly meets our standards. We’re confident this batch is exactly that.

This cacao is grown by the Ashaninka families of the Ucayali region in the Peruvian Amazon. The Ashaninka communities have cultivated cacao for generations, tending the trees with care and deep respect for the forest. Their cacao grows beneath tall canopies, nourished by rich Amazonian soil and guided by ancestral knowledge. Each harvest represents both livelihood and tradition. 

The cacao beans are harvested by hand, and taken to a local co-operative where they are professionally fermented, dried and processed into cacao paste.

Maximum order: 5kg per customer.

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!"
