Wilderness Poets Organic Arriba Nacional Cacao Paste offers a minimally processed form of dark chocolate made from a single ingredient: wild, heirloom Arriba Nacional cacao beans from Ecuador's volcanic highlands. The manufacturer describes this as a versatile base for creating homemade chocolate items, noting it can be melted and combined with sweeteners to make bars, truffles, or hot beverages.

What distinguishes this product is its sourcing story. The beans come from wild cacao trees aged 30-80 years, grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil and watered naturally rather than through commercial irrigation. After hand-selection and sun-drying, they're stone-ground below 120°F to preserve their raw qualities. This process maintains both cacao butter and powder in their natural ratio, which the manufacturer states contributes to a smooth texture when melted. The paste is USDA Organic certified and comes in an 8-ounce package, with larger bulk sizes also available.
