SOMA KARKAR ISLAND CEREMONIAL CACAO
On a remote tropical volcanic island off the coast of Papua New Guinea, the journey into the world of exceptional cacao begins. Here, on Karkar Island, the rich lava soil provides the perfect conditions for cultivating highly prized cacao. This remarkable cacao has earned accolades, winning a Silver Medal at the 2018 Australian Fine Food Awards and another Silver at Papua New Guinea’s prestigious Cocoa Show – Cocow Warwagira.
Much like fine wine and coffee, the quality of cacao is intricately tied to factors such as soil, climate, genetics, and post-harvest processes. At Soma Cacao, commitment to single-origin cacao ensures that each region’s unique flavor profile remains distinct and preserved.
When you receive Karkar Island Cacao, it will be in the form of solidified cacao paste, carefully shaved for your convenience. The Mayans referred to cacao as ‘The food of the Gods,’ and at Soma Cacao, the aim is to share this divine experience. Cacao has a rich history of being prepared into a ceremonial beverage for rituals, celebrations, and medicinal use. Modern science is shedding light on the reasons behind its revered status, revealing that cacao is among the highest plant-based sources of iron and magnesium. It is also rich in antioxidants and supports the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and anandamide—the “bliss molecule.” Theobromine, cacao’s crown jewel, provides a gentle, long-lasting stimulant that uplifts without the subsequent crash. Karkar Island Cacao, born from the fertile soil of this remote volcanic paradise, embodies a creamy, rich, and smooth profile, making it a cherished favorite among the Soma crew.
Ingredients:
100% pure Karkar Island cacao paste.
Additional Information
Preparation: Step 1: Measure 1 tablespoon (10-15g) of cacao for gentle drink, 2 tablespoons (25-30g) for a creative boost, or, on special occasions, 3 tablespoons (40-45g) for a "ceremonial" dose. Step 2: Using a milk frother, handheld barmix, or heat-proof blender, blend cacao with 150ml very hot (not boiling) water, 40ml plant-based milk and sweetener to taste (e.g. honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar). Step 3: Pour into your favorite cup. Pause to take a moment of gratitude, and perhaps even set an intention for your day. Inhale the aroma, sip and savour.$57.00
