The Food of the Gods was first discovered, originated and sourced as Indigenous Chocolate over 5000 years ago by the De’Aruhuä, the Masters of the Forest who used it as spiritual vehicle to higher realms of consciousness. Chocolate was made from rarest wild Amerindian Theobroma cacao (Indigenous Cacao) to be traded with other tribes that grew it and domesticated it to the South of its birthplace, giving us the domesticated varieties we know today.

Now these same people are finally rediscovering their primitive roots and recovering their customs, histories and traditions by producing “Pure, Organic, Wild-Grown, Original, Single-Origin, Extra-Fine and Aromatic Indigenous Cacao” and their own “Indigenous Chocolate” for chocolate connoisseurs and artisan chocolatiers. In 2022, it was determined that the Guiana Shield is the evolutionary birthplace of the Theobroma cacao genome.
