Premium Quality Ceremonial Cacao

We produce Ceremonial Cacao of the highest quality. VAICACAO ensures the ethical origin of the beans, high quality, fair trade and sustainable cultivation to offer you a product that nourishes your body, mind and soul.

Beans from our own finca

For us, cacao is more than just a drink. It is a sacred plant, a superfood, a pleasure and it promotes health. As the only producer of handcrafted Ceremonial Cacao on Sardinia, we offer you a premium quality product for ceremony and health. We use only beans from our own finca and from small plantations in Central America and prepare them in our small factory in Olbia, a small town on the Emerald Coast of the Italian island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean.

A companion for your rituals

The name VAICACAO stands for the traceability of the origin of our products and every manufacturing step. We take care to maintain an excellent flavor profile that allows the uniqueness of each bean to be tasted. This is the only way our product can live up to the claim of being suitable for 'ceremony', while also serving as part of a healthy diet and gently supporting you in your daily rituals.

Gently ground and prepared

In our online shop you will find six different cacaos that differ in the type of beans used and the region of origin. They all have the high quality and careful production in common. Our Ceremonial Cacao is made from gently roasted fairtrade cacao beans, which re ground into a paste in a stone mill in our factory in Sardinia and then formed into blocks. Depending on which finca in Central America the beans come from, a different incomparable taste experience unfolds after preparation.

Modeled after indigenous communities

With the intense chocolaty and fruity aroma, VAICACAO is also a valuable component of your whole foods and a real superfood. With the minimal processing of Fairtrade cacao, we are guided by the way the indigenous communities of Mesoamerica set an example for us. The carefully fermented beans are only lightly roasted before being stone ground for a raw, unadulterated texture. We do not add any sugar or preservatives at all. This gives you the certainty that with VAICACAO you are getting an absolutely natural product that is not only cultivated sustainably, but also takes ethical aspects into account and contains only the best ingredients.

What is "Ceremonial Cacao"?

Indigenous peoples have known for a long time that the cocoa bean is a superfood. In Central America, it has been used medicinally and for rituals and ceremonies for thousands of years. People regarded the plant as a sacred plant that connects the earthly and spiritual worlds. In our world, too, the power of the plant has been rediscovered and cocoa has become the focus of modern and personal ceremonies. The pure form of the product is important, which is why VAICACAO is called "ceremonial" due to the traditional cultivation method and minimal processing.

A cup of love

It has now been scientifically proven that the cacao bean is the only food packed with the happiness molecule anandamide, an endocannabinoid, as well as other neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and phenylethylamine, alongside the gentle stimulant theobromine. So anyone who enjoys ceremonial cocoa feels relaxed, mindful, euphoric and full of energy - just as if they were falling in love. VAICACAO gives you the experience in the simplest way by dissolving the finely chopped mass in hot water or plant-based milk. After that, all you have to do is enjoy. If you want, you can refine the drink with spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cardamom or vanilla. And if you like it sweet, you can add honey, dates or coconut blossom sugar.

Simply Enjoy

With VAICACAO we would like to give you a luxury food and superfood that enriches your life and makes it more intense. You can combine the aspects of personal growth and mindfulness with other practices such as meditation, yoga, dance or music while enjoying the hot drink in your own ceremony. Or you simply enjoy VAICACAO and feel its beneficial effects in your very own way.
