100% Pure Cacao Paste

What is cacao paste?

Pure cacao paste, also known as cacao liquor or cacao mass, is the result of grinding roasted cacao beans into a smooth paste — fluid when hot and solid at room temperature. At Fundo Maranatha we make our natural cacao paste from our own San Martín cacao, without adding any extra ingredient: pure 100% cacao only.

Being 100% sugar-free cacao, it has an intense and slightly bitter flavor. It is the perfect base for those who want to make artisan chocolate at home controlling every ingredient: sugar, milk, vanilla. It is also used directly in baking, hot cacao drinks and healthy recipes.

Cacao paste vs cacao mass vs cacao liquor

All three names — cacao paste, cacao mass and cacao liquor — refer to exactly the same product: roasted cacao beans ground into a smooth, homogeneous paste. The term "liquor" does not imply alcohol; it is simply the technical chocolate-industry term. In Peru, the most common terms are pasta de cacao or masa de cacao.

Whether you are looking for cacao paste to make chocolate, for healthy brownies, for cacao drinks or as raw material for your artisan chocolate business, our San Martín cacao paste is produced directly at the farm, guaranteeing freshness and full traceability.
