Why Seleno Health Offers the Finest Ceremonial Cacao in New Zealand
Most cacao products sold commercially are mass-produced, heavily fermented, and high-heat processed or alkalised (Dutch-processed). This strips away natural antioxidants, healthy cacao fats, and bio-active plant chemicals. At Seleno Health, we bring authentic, uncompromised raw ceremonial cacao paste directly from the Peruvian Amazon to New Zealand homes and practitioners.
Traditional Peruvian Sourcing & Ancestral Wisdom
Our ceremonial cacao is cultivated in biodiverse agroforestry systems in Peru, preserving ancestral farming methods passed down through generations. Hand-harvested by indigenous farmers, our cacao retains its full medicinal integrity, natural cocoa butter, and subtle energetic qualities.
Cadmium-Safe & Independently Lab-Tested
Heavy metal contamination (specifically cadmium) is a critical safety concern in imported South American cocoa. Every single batch of Seleno Health ceremonial cacao is independently lab-tested in New Zealand to ensure complete purity, safety, and zero heavy metal risk.
Our Ceremonial Cacao Blocks & Pastes
Choose from our specialised range of ceremonial-grade cacao blocks, formulated for meditation, daily wellness, and ritual:
- Shansho Ancestral Cacao Block: Raw unfermented cacao paste crafted for mental clarity, rich bio-actives, and daily nourishment.
- Uturunku Ceremonial Cacao Block: A grounding, deeply restorative ceremonial paste ideal for heart-opening practices.
- Amaru Organic Cacao Block: Pure ceremonial cacao paste block perfect for sharing in group cacao ceremonies or daily rituals.
How to Prepare Ceremonial Cacao at Home
Traditional Daily Cacao Recipe:
1. Chop: Finely shave 20g to 30g of Seleno Health ceremonial cacao block.
2. Warm: Heat 150ml to 200ml of water or nut milk (keep under 70°C to preserve nutrients).
3. Blend: Whisk or blend thoroughly until frothy.
4. Sweeten: Add a touch of honey, natural sweetener, or spices like cayenne and cinnamon to taste.
Ethical Direct Trade & Community Support
By choosing Seleno Health cacao in NZ, you support direct-trade economic models. We return fair wages directly to our Peruvian farming families, fostering sustainable rainforest stewardship and community development.
