Something that makes Pure Kakaw unique is that we source directly from cacao origins that we visit personally. We build relationships with farmers and find a holistic approach for better income, more work, knowledge and production at the origin, and protect nature and biodiversity.

Why sometimes products are sold out
While we do our best to keep sufficient stock for all our ceremonial cacao, mushroom extracts, chocolate and other products sometimes products are sold out for a while. This is because we source our cacao from very specific places and we depend on the harvest, nature, climate, transport and other kinds of delays or issues that can occur at the origin. It mainly shows how we depend on nature and that these unique cacaos are limited.
