Peruvian Criollo cacao in a 5 kg block
This Peruvian Criollo cacao comes as one substantial 5 kg block for buyers who need a bulk solid format. The botanical identity is Theobroma cacao, and the supplier positions the block for culinary as well as ceremonial settings. Its scale makes it fundamentally different from a small retail bar, loose powder or individual cacao beans.
Botanical and geographical context
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew accepts Theobroma cacao L. as a species in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is a tree associated with the wet tropical biome, and Peru is included within its native range. These facts provide useful context for the Peruvian country designation without turning general species distribution into a more specific farm or estate claim.
Understanding the Criollo label
Criollo is one of the historical commercial groupings used for cacao, alongside Forastero and Trinitario. It describes the stated cacao group rather than a separate botanical species: the scientific identity remains Theobroma cacao. That distinction helps shoppers compare a Criollo-labelled block with products described only by origin, percentage or processing format.
From seed to solid cacao
Kew explains that cocoa beans are dried and fermented cacao seeds, while cocoa ingredients are prepared from fermented and roasted seeds. This listing concerns the resulting solid block format, not raw pods or loose beans. No recipe, serving size, ingredient list or cacao percentage is specified, so the clearest purchasing cues are identity, Criollo designation, Peruvian country and block size.
- Botanical species: Theobroma cacao
- Stated group: Criollo
- Country: Peru
- Format: solid block
- Net format stated by supplier: 5 kg
- Suitable selection context: bulk culinary or ceremonial stock
Who this format is for
A five-kilogram block is best considered where volume and a solid cacao format are deliberate requirements. Buyers wanting small portions, powder, nibs or individually wrapped chocolate should choose by form rather than assuming equivalence.
