Ecuadorian Camino Verde Chips- Ceremonial Cacao

Ecuadorian Camino Verde Ceremonial Cacao Exceptional cacao, rooted in Ecuadorian heritage and transformed through thoughtful fermentation. Our Camino Verde cacao comes from Ecuador, a country celebrated for its historic Nacional cacao genetics and distinctive fine-flavor beans. At Camino Verde, cacao from Ecuadorian growing regions is brought together and carefully fermented using a controlled process designed to develop remarkable consistency, complexity, and depth of flavor. The result is a beautifully expressive cacao with a rich, fudgy chocolate character complemented by almond, floral, and nuanced earthy notes. Full-bodied yet balanced, it offers the depth we look for in cacao intended for both intentional daily use and ceremonial preparation. Sustainably & Thoughtfully Sourced Our approach to sourcing is rooted in relationship, transparency, and respect for the land and the people behind the cacao. Camino Verde cacao is organically certified, and its post-harvest process is designed around careful handling rather than commodity-scale speed. After harvest, the cacao is brought to Camino Verde’s central fermentary in Durán, Ecuador, where controlled fermentation helps consistently develop the bean’s natural flavor potential. The beans are then sun-dried on raised drying tables, encouraging airflow and even drying, with mechanical drying used when weather conditions require it. This approach aligns with Third Eye Cacao’s larger commitment to ethical sourcing, organic cultivation, biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, and farming systems that work in relationship with their surrounding ecosystems.
