Ancient Purity Criollo Cacao Powder: chocolate in its purest form
A warm mug of cacao is one of my favourite little indulgences, and this is the cacao I reach for every time. It’s rich, smooth and deeply chocolatey, with nothing added.
Ancient Purity’s Cacao is made from Peruvian Criollo, the ancient, non-hybrid bean known as the “King of Cacao” for its refined flavour. It’s grown by small farmer co-operatives and minimally processed, with low fermentation and low temperatures, then simply ground into powder.
"I love how it lifts my mood, boosts my energy, and nourishes my body with rich antioxidants. It's such a beautiful way to enjoy a little indulgence while supporting mine and my family's wellbeing." - Georgie x

Why I love it
Cacao has been honoured for thousands of years as both nourishment and ceremony. Ancient Purity explains that, unlike modern chocolate, gently processed cacao keeps its natural polyphenols, including flavanols and resveratrol, alongside phenethylamine, often called the “love molecule”.
The brand designed it for daily use: a gentler, more consistent ritual than ceremonial cacao, and a grounding, uplifting way to enjoy chocolate as nature intended.
How I use it
Ancient Purity suggests one to three teaspoons in a smoothie, or whisked into warm water or plant milk for a hot chocolate.
My favourite: a heaped spoonful whisked into warm oat or soya milk with a little maple or date syrup and a pinch of Celtic sea salt.
It’s also wonderful in raw treats, brownies, smoothie bowls and porridge.
