Peru Ucayali River Cacao Nibs

These cacao nibs come from the Ucayali region, which has been a principal growing region for cacao for years. Recently, the farmers near the Ucayali River have taken strides to improve the flavor and production of their cacao through fermentation and drying techniques. These intentional steps at improving quality have elevated the reputation of this region to fine cacao. We enjoy these nibs as ingredients in baking and smoothies, and they are also great in handfuls by themselves. They don’t call this “food of the gods” for no reason…
