Sobre el origen

Sourcing context — Peru

Peru is one of the most botanically diverse cacao origins in the world — home to native genetics including Chuncho, Awajun, and Ashaninka Matsigenka cacao alongside conventional plantings.

Ayni works with community associations across Amazonas, San Martín, Cusco and Junín — offering raw beans, nibs, and tempered / packed cacao paste.
