About Whole HEart cacao
Premium ceremonial cacao, thoughtfully sourced from Bolivia and crafted for people who value exceptional ingredients, simple rituals, and evidence-based nutrition.
Our Story
why we started whole heart cacao
After my grandfather suffered a heart attack, I found myself thinking differently about long-term health and the role everyday nutrition can play over a lifetime. I wasn't searching for a miracle food—I simply wanted to better understand the choices we make every day.
That curiosity led me to ceremonial cacao and, eventually, to the growing body of peer-reviewed research investigating cocoa flavanols and cardiovascular health.
As I learned more, I realized something surprising: while cacao has been enjoyed for centuries, products made with exceptional ingredients, high quality, minimal processing, and thoughtful sourcing were difficult to find.
Whole Heart Cacao was created to change that.
Crafted at the source
Single-Origin Bolivian Cacao
We partner directly with trusted Bolivian growers who cultivate exceptional cacao using generations of experience and care.
By sourcing from a single origin and minimizing processing, we preserve the character of the cacao—from its naturally rich flavor to its naturally occurring cocoa compounds.
Exceptional products begin with exceptional ingredients.
What we value
Research
Explore the science
Our curiosity didn't stop at sourcing exceptional cacao.
We've dedicated time to reading the scientific literature investigating cocoa flavanols and human health.
Rather than asking you to take our word for it, we've organized that research into a clear, accessible Research Library so you can explore the evidence yourself.
