Maya Mountain Cacao celebrates its 10 year anniversary this year and over time, the team has dialed in the best quality and flavor Belizean cacao can offer. Tasting notes of Honey, Pineapple, and Raisin sing in this cacao with a creamy milk chocolate quality without having to add any dairy. Is this the magic of fermentation? We think so.

There are 367 farmers in the Maya Mountain farmer network located in Toledo in Southern Belize. The farmgate price is among the highest paid directly to farmers at a price of $3.34/kg of fermented and dried cacao. The farmer network is made up of mostly indigenous Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya and who have been producing cacao for generations but had an unreliable market with low quality prior to Maya Mountain forming a centralized fermentary and export business 10 years ago in 2010. This was one of the first specialty cacao origins to centralize fermentation and consistently produce world-class cacao. This bean is internationally recognized as being among the top 20 best cacaos in the world by the Cocoa of Excellence!
