The History of Mayan Cacao and the Criollo Lineage
Cacao’s story begins in the tropical rainforests of Mesoamerica, with the Maya civilization playing a pivotal role in its cultivation and cultural significance. The Maya were true pioneers in the utilization of cacao, considering it a divine gift from the gods and integrating it deeply into their social, economic, and religious practices.
Mayan Civilization (2000 BCE-1500 CE): The Maya believed that cacao was a sacred gift from the gods, especially the god of fertility and agriculture. They used cacao beans to create a frothy, bitter drink called "xocolatl," which was consumed during religious rituals, marriages, and social ceremonies. Cacao beans were also used as currency, demonstrating their immense value in Maya society.
Our Cacao Sourcing: At Happy To Be Here, we honor this rich heritage by sourcing our cacao from Chiapas, Mexico, a region historically linked to the Mayan civilization. Our cacao comes from the criollo lineage, known for its superior quality and rich flavor. The criollo variety is considered one of the finest and rarest types of cacao, prized for its complex flavor profile and lower bitterness compared to other varieties like forastero and trinitario.
Benefits of Criollo Cacao:
Superior Flavor: Criollo cacao has a more delicate and nuanced flavor, often described as having hints of fruit, nuts, and spices. This makes it highly sought after by chocolate connoisseurs.
Higher Nutritional Value: Criollo cacao is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, providing numerous health benefits.
Preservation of Tradition: By choosing criollo cacao, we help preserve the traditional and ancestral methods of cacao cultivation, supporting local farmers and communities in Chiapas.
Ancient Uses of Cacao:
Religious and Ceremonial Use:
The Maya believed cacao was a gift from the gods, particularly the god of fertility and agriculture. It was used in sacred ceremonies, marriages, and religious offerings. The frothy cacao drink, "xocolatl," was consumed during these rituals, often mixed with spices like chili and vanilla.
Economic Importance:
Cacao beans were so valuable that they were used as currency, facilitating trade and paying taxes.
Cultural Significance:
Reserved for the elite, cacao was a symbol of status and wealth, enjoyed by the nobility, and used to strengthen social bonds.
