Colombian Putumayo Cacao Nibs 450g - Arhuaco Tribe Single Origin from the Jungle
This cacao paste comes from Putumayo, a mountainous region in southern Colombia where cacao grows at elevations between 800 and 1,400 meters. The volcanic soil, stable tropical climate, and traditional cultivation methods combine to produce a cacao with a deep, complete flavor profile. Local families hand-harvest the beans at peak ripeness, ferment and sun-dry them, then grind them on traditional stone mills into this pure paste.
The beans aren't roasted and the cacao undergoes no refining - this preserves all natural components like cacao butter, flavonoids, and minerals. You taste a complex flavor: bitter with fruity undertones and a full body characteristic of Colombian cacao. The nibs breaks easily into pieces or you can grate off your desired portion.
Key features: Single origin from Putumayo, Colombia. Pure cacao mass with no additives. Hand-harvested and stone-ground. Naturally rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants. Suitable for ceremonial and daily use. Sourced directly from small-scale farmers. Packaged as a 450-gram nibs.
Putumayo: Tradition and Cultivation
Putumayo lies in southwestern Colombia, at the edge of the Amazon basin. Indigenous communities like the Inga and Cofán have been growing cacao here for centuries among banana trees, yucca, and medicinal plants. This mixed cultivation protects the soil and maintains biodiversity. For local families, cacao is more than food - it plays a central role in traditional gatherings and ceremonies.
Ceremonial Use
★ Traditional context
In South American traditions, pure cacao is used during group gatherings and personal moments of reflection. The drink is consumed slowly, often combined with intentions, music, or meditation. This practice has spread to the Western world in recent years.
★ Natural composition
Cacao contains theobromine, a mild stimulant that works more gently than caffeine and provides relaxed alertness. It also contains phenylethylamine and anandamide - compounds that occur naturally in the body and are associated with positive mood. The high magnesium content supports muscles and the nervous system.
Use and dosage
Grate 25-40 grams per serving and melt slowly in 200ml of warm water or plant-based milk. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy. For ceremonial use, people typically take 35-42 grams. Add spices if desired: cinnamon for sweetness, cardamom for freshness, cayenne for warmth. For daily use, 20-25 grams is sufficient. Drink the cacao preferably on an empty stomach or at least 2 hours after a meal.
Ingredients
Cacao as it comes from the tree, simply dried and ground - nothing else.
100% cacao mass (Theobroma cacao) from Putumayo, Colombia
Storage and Shelf Life
Store the nibs in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight. The cacao butter in the paste may soften when warm - this is normal and doesn't affect quality. With proper storage, the cacao keeps for at least a year. Sometimes you'll see a white film on the bar (blooming) - these are crystallized fats rising to the surface, completely harmless and without impact on quality or shelf life.

What are cacao nibs and how do you use them for a ceremony?
Cacao nibs are broken cacao beans that you can grind in a blender or mortar before melting them in warm water or plant-based milk. For a ceremonial dose, use 30 to 42 grams per person. The advantage of nibs is that they can also be eaten directly as a snack or added to smoothies and energy balls. Read more in our blog about unforgettable cacao products.
Why is Putumayo cacao sold as single origin?
Putumayo is located in southwestern Colombia at 800 to 1400 meters elevation, where volcanic soil and a stable tropical climate create a unique flavor profile. The beans are hand-harvested by indigenous Inga and Cofan communities who have been growing cacao for centuries in mixed agroforestry systems. This specific origin guarantees a deep, bitter taste with fruity undertones.
How do you best store ceremonial cacao nibs?
Store the nibs in a cool, dry place below 25°C, protected from direct sunlight in a well-sealed container. With proper storage, they keep for at least a year and maintain their full flavor and crunch. Unlike cacao paste, you do not need to worry about blooming with nibs, the white film that sometimes appears on solid cacao. Find more storage tips in our raw cacao guide.
