Sustainability & ethics at Pachakamak Cacao
Discover how Pachakamak Cacao champions environmental protection and community empowerment, ensuring every product you enjoy contributes to a better world. We are committed to a future where rare, heirloom cacao thrives.
Why Pachakamak Cacao stands out
We bypass industrial supply chains to work directly with 24 families in Puerto Quito, Ecuador. By sourcing our Heirloom Nacional beans from the Chocó Andino UNESCO Biosphere, we protect a vital ecosystem while ensuring a premium, dignified wage for our farming partners.
Purity & performance
Our cacao is Keto Certified and contains 14g of Fibre per 100g—significantly higher than standard luxury chocolate.
Enhanced bioavailability
We use sunflower lecithin to boost nutrient absorption by +75%, delivering peak retention of brain-boosting flavonoids.
Ceremonial integrity
Crafted for wellness, our raw process preserves the "Happiness Molecule" (Anandamide) and Theobromine for calm, sustained focus.
Artisanal heritage
Each bar is a reflection of its origin, carrying natural notes of jasmine and blackberry that are unique to the Ecuadorian cloud forest.
The Pachakamak journey: Tree to bar
Experience the ethical and sustainable journey of our cacao, from its protected source in Ecuador to a high-performance superfood in your hands.
The protected source
Our Heirloom Nacional cacao grows in the Chocó Andino UNESCO Biosphere. Here, 24 partner families in Puerto Quito harvest pods from sustainable agroforestry systems that keep the rainforest canopy alive.
Direct trade integrity
By bypassing industrial middlemen, we work directly with the farmers. This ensures your purchase provides a dignified, premium wage that stays within the local community, fostering long-term social and ecological resilience.
Raw science & wellness
We use a low-temperature raw process to preserve the "Medicine of the Soul." By adding sunflower lecithin, we boost nutrient bioavailability by +75%, delivering a high-fibre, antioxidant-rich superfood directly to your door in the UK.
Our positive impact: Forest and people
At Pachakamak, success is measured by the health of the forest and the dignity of the people who guard it.
Protecting the "green lung"
We source our cacao from the Chocó Andino UNESCO Biosphere. By using Agroforestry—growing cacao under the shade of native giant trees—we provide a sanctuary for tropical wildlife and prevent the deforestation caused by industrial farming.
Dignity for 24 families
We bypass industrial middlemen to work directly with 24 families in Puerto Quito. This ensures they receive a premium, dignified wage, allowing the wealth of the harvest to stay within the community and fund local education and heritage.
Wellness with integrity
Our impact reaches you through a Keto-Certified, high-fibre superfood. By preserving the "Happiness Molecule" through raw processing and enhancing nutrient absorption by +75%, we provide a functional ritual that honours your body and the Earth.
When you buy Pachakamak, you aren't just 'helping' a forest in Ecuador. You are securing a future where rare, heirloom cacao still exists. Sustainability is the only way to guarantee that the chocolate in your hand remains a pure, high-performance superfood.
