Isidora’s Artisanal Ceremonial Cacao – Handcrafted Over Fire in the Mountains of Valle Estrella

Tucked deep within the remote Indigenous Reserve of the Talamanca mountains, far from the gaze of the outside world, lives a woman whose hands carry generations of tradition and devotion—Isidora, a Cabécar matriarch and cacao artisan.

Isidora’s Artisanal Ceremonial Cacao is a rare and deeply personal offering. Made entirely by hand over an open fire in her home, this cacao is not a mass-produced product—it is her medicine, her art, and her sacred expression for over 40 years. Every batch is crafted with care, precision, and soul, carrying the spirit of the mountains and the wisdom of her lineage.

Our connection to Isidora came through her son, Fabian, a dear friend and trusted collaborator on Seva Farm. After nearly a year of working together, Fabian revealed the quiet brilliance of his mother’s work. Once we experienced her cacao ourselves, it became clear: this was a gift that deserved to be shared.

We honor Isidora’s sovereignty by purchasing her cacao directly, at the price she sets—no negotiations, no middlemen. Her value is defined by her, and we are simply the bridge between her sacred creation and the people ready to receive it.
