Ceremonial Cacao Paste Block, 1/2 lb – Organic Mayan Cacao from Guatemala
100% pure Mayan organic ceremonial Cacao, artisanally prepared by indigenous mothers in Mayan Guatemala. We share with you our presentation of a 1/2 lb cacao paste block; a rich and delicious bar of gold made from the ‘Drink of the Gods’!
Maya Moon Cacao beans are sourced directly from our farmers in Alta Verapaz; the highlands of Central Guatemala, where the fruits of the cacao trees are harvested and the beans extracted, fermented, and dried, ready for our team of Mayan mothers to work their loving magic! In the home of cacao in San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlan, our cacao beans are roasted, hand-peeled, and ground into a paste before then being molded into the blocks of 100% pure cacao for your delight!
Cacao (Kah-kaw) was first grown in Central and South America during the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It was used ceremonially as an offering to the Ancient Gods and was valued so highly that it was also a standard unit of currency in Mesoamerican native cultures.
Cacao has been enjoyed for thousands of years for its health-promoting qualities. It is a heart opener and womb healer. It gives a mental and emotional lift and provides vital nutrients such as iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B1, C, D, and E, antioxidants, and flavonoids. It is indeed a sacred superfood!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this cacao block?
This is a minimally processed, pure ceremonial-grade cacao block from Indigenous-farmed sources in Guatemala. Unlike commercial cocoa products, this cacao block retains all natural fats, antioxidants, and nutrients, making it ideal for ceremonial consumption and daily wellness rituals.
Q: How is this cacao block prepared?
This cacao block is handcrafted and molded by Mayan women in Guatemala. It's organic, fair-trade certified, and ready to grate, chop, or melt for preparation. Simply warm filtered water to 140-160°F, add cacao, and whisk to create a ceremonial drink.
Q: Is this certified organic and fair-trade?
Yes. Our cacao block is certified organic, fair-trade, and ethically sourced directly from Indigenous Q'eqchi' farmers in Guatemala. All employees are paid fair wages, supporting sustainable, community-centered production.
Q: How is this cacao block different from powder?
This cacao block is a solid, unground form that retains more of the natural cacao butter and nutrients compared to powder. It requires grating or melting before use, but many prefer it for ritual preparation as it feels more authentic and intentional than pre-ground powder.

I have Ordered this cacao multiple times. Handcrafted with intention and love. It tastes delicious and elevates my spirit. Highly recommend
This is the only cacao I buy and it opens my heart everytime I work with it. They put so much care into the crafting of it and the packaging, you can tell. Shipping only took two days! Thank you to all of the beautiful mothers who are touching more hearts than they know!
I will say that this product is above average and it beat my expectations by a lot. This is my second time buying it. I find it the best way to process this, as I use it in a smoothie and sometimes with hot almond milk and honey, is to take a standing cheese grater and grate it on the zester side. It puts it into a perfectly fine pile easy for measuring, because since it is such a quality condensed product it is difficult to cut. It's important for health food advocates and people looking to make good solid supplemental choices, to research the health benefits of raw organic cacao. It is very much a product that an organic supplement using individual should have in their collection.
This is my new favorite cacao brand to order from. I love the slight cherry flavor from this region and they have the best eco friendly packaging!! Once a month a have a small cacao circle with dear friends and this medicine works beautifully.
El Cacao es perfecto pero no ponía la cantidad del producto en gramos así q lo compre para probarlo y la verdad q después de 17 días esperándolo era tan pequeño q mal me cabía en la mano . Pero la calidad es perfecta
I bought the half pound ceremonial cacao to try. I’ll be back to buy the entire pound, and also the ground cacao! Such a dreamy experience paired with deep meditation. 🤎
What a gift! I’ve had several brands of cacao and this is the most smooth and delicious! The intentionality and care in the production really come through in the quality of the taste and the gentle, pleasant uplifting experience. I’m very grateful to have found Maya Moon Cacao. 🙏🏽
