De'Aruhuä Indigenous Cultural Products

You cannot call it Indigenous Chocolate unless it really is INDIGENOUS according to the Piaroa Tribal Council. It must be grown in the original endemic (biodiverse) territory of the Theobroma cacao genome, it must be harvested in the wild by Indigenous Peoples within Indigenous Territory, and it must be made into chocolate by Indigenous Peoples in that same territory as a finished product. It must be made in accordance with the law.

Cacao (Natural)

Pure organic wild cacao grown by the indigenous Piaroa of the Guiana Highlands forests. One of the last "wild" original remaining forastero strains existing on the planet in its original habitat. All direct-trade cacao we produce is priced considering fair-trade standards with a higher percentage to the farmer.

Chocolate

Currently we have under development our project to produce some of the best well made chocolate in the world worthy of international competition and recognition. Our Piaroa wild cacao from Paraguaza and Cardona has already been recognized in bars made by other companies.
