In the tropical climate of Peru, the seeds of the Criollo cocoa variety are harvested from the sacred cocoa trees. The seeds are ground, and through pressing, cocoa mass (cocoa paste) is produced, while cocoa powder is separated from cocoa butter. The butter is solidified into small circular pieces, facilitating its mixing with other ingredients.

Usage:

• As a snack on its own
• As an ingredient for making homemade chocolate
