Yin Blend - Cacao Paste with Vanilla

Mamamuti’s best seller!

What makes it exceptionally irresistible?
So much love, attention, time and care has been poured into this cacao. You will taste this in the richness of it’s flavour! 

Process
The beans are picked and fermented for 7 days. Then sun dried and gently roasted over a low heat, cracked and winnowed. This is all done in micro batches and by hand. Then the nibs are stone ground for over 24 hours and allowed to set as a paste, untempered. With the help of The Cacao Ambassador the paste is then transformed into something so smooth and velvety, that it will make you go ‘mmmm’ and ‘ahhhh’.

Here’s why…
We add extra cacao butter and whole vanilla pods to the paste to create the Yin Blend. The added cacao butter makes it oh so creamy and increases the anti oxidant, fatty acid and mineral content. The pure vanilla turns on the comfort level! Vanilla has calming and neuroprotective effects, reduces startle reflexes and curbs sugar cravings. Making this blend is a slow and mindful process and can’t be rushed. The result is a deliciously comforting, nourishing and gentle full body and heart experience. All things beautifully feminine and nurturing. And did we mention extra extra extra creamy??

Ethics
Mamamuti, with the help of The Cacao Ambassador, sources this cacao from small, women owned cacao farming communities in the Solomon Islands. Your support has a huge impact on these women, their families and communities. We trade directly, eliminating the need for brokers, which means the farmers have a voice and receive so much more for their labour, skills and service. With your support we can ensure a more equal exchange in monetary abundance.

Yin Cacao is genuinely pure and transparent in essence and embodies Mamamuti’s core values as an ethical female driven business. It will invite you to slow down and make love to your existence…every day, in the most decadent and full filling way. Whether you wish to brew a warm ceremonial elixir, nibble on the paste straight from the packet, add it to your coffee, or create extraordinary cakes, desserts or homemade chocolate, there are so many ways to enjoy, share and celebrate this blend daily.

Love Note 
This paste is handmade and stoneground in small batches to bring out the delicate flavours of the cacao and vanilla. It is not tempered to standardise the appearance like in modern industrial chocolate. The characteristics of authentic cacao paste is crumbly and marbled. However, once melted the cacao returns to being smooth and velvety. The overall tasting notes is consistent, but every batch has unique nuances reflecting the season and the wisdom of nature. Grown using organic farming principles.
