Cacao Buttons: Pure Indulgence for Ceremony and Culinary Artistry
Chocolate buttons are small, disc-shaped pieces of chocolate that are often used for baking, decorating cakes, or simply enjoyed as a snack. They are made using a process called tempering, which involves heating and cooling chocolate to specific temperatures to achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
Origins of Cacao – Grown in the Heart of the Tropics
Our ceremonial cacao begins its journey far from British shores. The finest cacao is cultivated in tropical regions of South America, Africa, where lush rainforests offer the ideal climate rich, fertile soil, high humidity, and natural canopy protection.
The cacao tree produces vibrant pods, each encasing 30 to 50 precious beans. These are carefully harvested and ground into pure organic cacao, with the natural cacao butter its richest component gently separated during processing.
Much of the world’s cacao is grown on small-scale, sustainable farms, where tradition meets ethical cultivation, ensuring quality and responsibility in every bean.
What Are Cacao Buttons?
Our organic cacao buttons are exquisite discs of pure cacao paste, also known as cacao liquor, crafted without additives, sugars, or chemicals. These luxurious morsels preserve the essence of the cacao bean: its deep flavour, aromatic intensity, and rich nutritional profile.
At PIUAROMA, we select only the finest single-origin cacao, cultivated on small farms where tradition, sustainability and soul meet. These are not just ingredients, they are an invitation to elevate your rituals and recipes alike

A Ritual of the Heart: Ceremonial Grade Cacao
Beyond the kitchen, our cacao buttons open the door to a deeper experience, ceremonial cacao rituals.
Known as the “Food of the Gods”, cacao has long been used in sacred practices for its heart-opening, grounding and emotionally healing properties.
To prepare your own ritual:
Gently melt the buttons in hot water.
Add spices like cayenne, cinnamon or cardamom.
Drink slowly, with intention, welcoming presence, clarity and warmth.
