What is this project all about?

Our story begins in one of the most magical places in the world:
the cacao coast in Bahia, Brazil. Here, our 100% cacao thrives in perfect harmony with its environment. The Atlantic rainforest, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, provides the perfect breeding ground for our cacao, which is not only exceptional in taste but also carries the Brazilian joy of life within it.
Our cacao is not just a delicacy – it is an experience, a ritual, a connection to nature and the people who cultivate it. From tree to bar, our cacao is produced on a single fazenda, ensuring its quality and authenticity.

Now we want to bring our first large shipment of this special cacao to Germany. For this, we need your support to overcome the necessary bureaucratic hurdles and manage the logistics. Help us make this vision a reality and bring a piece of Brazilian culture to the cups of people in Europe.

Support us by purchasing and trying your cacao now.
Share this project with everyone who loves cacao, is connected to Brazil, appreciates good taste, and cares about fair trade and sustainable consumption. Feel free to ask us questions and visit us on Instagram, where you can find more information about our project.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our main goals are:

  • Introducing a unique Brazilian cacao to the European market.
  • Promoting sustainable cultivation methods as well as transparent and fair trade.
  • Building cultural bridges between Brazil and Germany.

Our target groups include:

  • Cacao lovers and those interested in ritual cacao.
  • Sustainability-conscious consumers.
  • Yogis, sound healing and breathwork facilitators.
  • Women's circles and dance enthusiasts, especially for festivals and aesthetic dance.
  • Travelers and athletes who appreciate morning routines and healthy lifestyles.

Why would you support this project?

By supporting our project, you not only gain access to a super high-quality, 100% pure cacao from Bahia, Brazil, but also the unique opportunity to experience cacao in a new, deeper way. Será Cacau is more than just a delicacy – it is an experience that enriches rituals and ceremonies and brings magic to everyday life. It is a connection to nature and Brazilian culture.

Cacao can help you unwind in everyday life, practice short meditations and breathing exercises, or simply enjoy a moment for yourself. Its valuable nutrients and mood enhancers promote your health. Cacao is perfect for festivals and events, for dancing, celebrating, and moving.
Share it in circles with people and feel the deep connection that arises when coming together, as our ancestors have done for millennia, or enjoy quality time with a lovingly prepared cup of cacao with your loved ones.

By doing so, you support traditional cultivation methods that protect the Atlantic rainforest and preserve biodiversity. You contribute to promoting fair and transparent trade practices and securing the livelihoods of local farmers. Your contribution helps us overcome the bureaucratic and logistical hurdles to bring this unique cacao to Germany.

You become part of a movement that supports the preservation of our environment and the promotion of cultural connections. Support us and experience the Brazilian joy of life and the unparalleled taste of this extraordinary cacao. Together, we can make the enjoyment of 100% pure cacao from Bahia known in Europe and support sustainable, fair, and authentic products.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

With the funds from successful financing, we will:

  • Purchase the cacao directly from the fazenda.
  • Overcome all bureaucratic hurdles, including costs for documents, lawyers, and traders.
  • Organize the packaging and shipping of the cacao.
  • Comply with import regulations in Germany.

This allows us to bring this special cacao to the European market while promoting sustainable practices.

Who are the people behind the project?

I am Madeleine, a German who lost her heart to the cacao coast in Bahia, Brazil, ten years ago. Today, I live here with my Brazilian husband and our 8-month-old son in the idyllic village of Serra Grande. Before moving to Brazil, I studied sustainable business and worked as a Sustainable Development Manager in 5-star hospitality. Thus, sustainable business and food are deeply embedded in my professional career. With my background in sustainable consulting and regenerative design, I have made it my mission to connect my adopted home of Brazil with my homeland of Germany.
Cacao came into my life through a series of key moments, and when I met the couple who produce this unique cacao, I knew immediately that I wanted to share this treasure with Europe. Our project is not just a business idea but a heartfelt endeavor deeply rooted in my personal history and my love for the nature and culture of Brazil.
