Cacao was considered a sacred gift from the Mayan gods. When the invaders arrived, our forefathers retreated deep into the forest and were called “wild” as they fiercely resisted capture. To honor our ancestors, we name our chocolate “Che’il” which means Wild Maya. We proudly keep our “wild” traditions alive by respecting natural resources and practicing sustainable farming. We share this chocolate, a deeply rooted part of our culture, our belief and our tradition with you.
