Suchitepéquez - Holy Wow Cacao
Suchitepéquez - Holy Wow Cacao
Bold • Toasty • Nutty
From Suchitepéquez, along Guatemala’s Pacific volcanic coast, this cacao is grown by a women-owned farming cooperative in a region with a long history of Maya cacao cultivation.
Traditionally roasted over a wood fire in a clay pot, this variety has a rich, bold flavor with distinctive toasted and nutty notes.
A beautiful choice if you enjoy cacao with a deeper, more robust and earthy flavor profile.

Holy Wow Cacao - Ceremonial Cacao from Guatemala
100% pure, single origin blocks of ceremonial cacao paste. No additives. No fillers. Just a single-origin fire roasted cacao block ground and pressed the traditional Mayan way.
Grown by family farms in Guatemala and traditionally prepared in small batches, Holy Wow Cacao is fire-roasted, hand-peeled, stone-ground into a rich cacao paste, and pressed into blocks.
Known for centuries as the “Food of the Gods,” cacao is more than a beverage. Prepared with intention, it can become a beautiful daily ritual—a moment to slow down, be present, and reconnect with yourself.
What Makes It Ceremonial Grade?
Unlike cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao is made from the whole cacao bean, preserving its naturally occurring cacao butter along with theobromine, minerals, flavanols, and other plant compounds.
Holy Wow honors a traditional, hands-on process:
- Fire-roasted over an open flame in small batches
- Hand-peeled by a women’s collective in Tzununá, Lake Atitlán
- Stone-ground into a rich cacao paste
- Pressed into blocks rather than processed into cocoa powder
- 100% pure cacao with nothing added or removed
The result is a rich, minimally processed cacao that honors the traditions, people, and places behind it.
Cacao That Gives Back
5% of every sale goes directly back to local communities in Guatemala, supporting initiatives including Water4Life, school sponsorships, Casa Tot Loy, and lakeshore clean-up projects.
When you bring a block of Holy Wow Cacao home, you’re not only creating space for your own cacao ritual—you’re also helping support the communities connected to its journey from bean to cup.
