Not sure which variety to choose? Or never tried whole bean cacao before, as opposed to cacao powder?

Try an 85g bag* of two, three or all four of our award-winning varieties so you can let your taste buds decide which one is for you. You’ll be sampling some of the highest quality single origin cacao in the world, in its purest form.

Your cacao will come as solidified cacao paste, which we have shaved up finely so it is “ready-to-scoop” for your convenience.

Our international award-winning range includes:

• Our best selling Karkar Island Ceremonial Cacao

• Our potent and bold Mexican Ceremonial Cacao

• Our premium homegrown Daintree Cacao

• Our smoky and unique Solomon Islands Cacao

*An 85g bag is approximately 2-7 servings, depending on your chosen serving size. You will receive preparation instructions with your order, and you can also visit www.somacacao.com.au/preparation for detailed guides, tips and tricks!

If you would like a different combination to what is currently available, all 85g bags can also be purchased separately, by visiting the individual product pages via this link. Note, supplies are unpredictable (cacao is subject to seasonal variations, harvest times, etc.) so we won’t always have all varieties available. Thank you for your understanding with this!

On a remote, tropical, volcanic island off the coast of Papua New Guinea grows some of the most highly prized cacao in the world. It is from here that we’ve sourced more award-winning cacao to add to our Soma Cacao repertoire. The rich lava soil provides fertile ground for highly potent cacao to grow with ease.

Our Karkar Island Cacao has won multiple awards, including winning a Silver Medal at the 2018 Australian Fine Food Awards in its chocolate form, and it also won Silver at Papua New Guinea’s highly competitive inaugural Cocoa Show - Cocow Warwagira, out of more than 80 cocoa samples from across the country.

Like fine wine and coffee, the quality of cacao varies according to the soil, climate, genetics, and post-havest processes. Our commitment to single origin cacao ensures the unique flavour profile of each region remains intact.

Your cacao will come as solidified cacao paste, which we have shaved up so it is “ready-to-scoop” for your convenience. We then place it in our stand-up pouches, and send it to you using a biodegradable mailer or recyclable packaging box.

This single origin, certified organic, 100% pure cacao paste is sourced from the pristine Daintree region, in spectacular Far North Queensland. The trees grow between two World Heritage Listed natural wonders: on one side, the world-famous Great Barrier Reef; on the other, the Daintree Rainforest, one of the oldest and most ecologically diverse rainforests in the world.

Great care is taken by the growers to ensure that there is no chemical run-off that could pollute the soils and waterways of the region. Fertilisers are derived from on-farm inputs, including leaves, prunings and cacao pods. Cacao pod juice, a by-product of the extraction process, is fermented and used as a natural weed-killer. Green ants thrive in the environment, acting as natural pest controllers by preying on beetles, termites and moths.

Our decision to source our newest cacao locally was based on three key criteria:

• our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint

• our commitment to supporting local small businesses

• our commitment to YOU, the Soma Cacao community: we know how much you love the idea of sipping cacao sourced so close to home!

The fact that this cacao is certified organic by the ACO, is Cocoa of Excellence Award-winning, and is, in our opinion, deliciously smooth, light, chocolatey and uplifting, also contributed to our decision.

Like fine wine and coffee, the quality of cacao varies according to the soil, climate, genetics, and post-havest processes. Our commitment to single origin cacao ensures the unique flavour profile of each region remains intact. This also means the flavour may vary month to month/harvest to harvest.

***NEW*** You now have the option to package your Daintree cacao with Australian grown, handmade sandalwood and frankincense incense planks, which you can read more about here.

Note: it is highly recommended you try the Mexican Cacao in a smaller quantity (85g) before ordering a larger bag. This is our most polarising cacao: you either love it (and no other cacao compares)… or not!

Expect a stronger, more unique flavour and greater potency due to this rare and powerful cacao strain: criolla beans (almendra blanca, to be specific) are considered the crème de la crème of cacao.

Our single origin, award-winning, organic, ceremonial whole bean Mexican cacao grows in Chiapas, in a town called Cacahoatán, which means “place of cacao” in the ancient Toltec language. Need we say more? :)

It has been internationally recognised by the highly prestigious Cocoa of Excellence Awards in 2021 (GOLD Winner!) and in 2019. This award ranks cacao from all around the world based on quality, flavour and diversity.

It has been sourced ethically and directly from the producer, Josue, whose family has taken care of the cacao growing on their land for generations. No middle-man. No complex supply chain. We pay Josue stable, premium prices that are substantially higher than commodity market and Fair Trade prices, and which are protected from market fluctuations.

It is exclusively shade-grown using sustainable agroforestry systems.

And, like all our varieties, it has recently been tested for heavy metals, specifically the one causing much media-stirred consumer panic of late: cadmium. It has been deemed “below testing threshold”, or in Spanish “por debajo del Nivel más bajo de calibración”, i.e. “below the lowest calibration level”. You can read more about this here.
