THE CACAO JOURNAL Ingredients. Good questions. Better cups.Our relationships

GOOD TASTE. CLEAR THINKING.

Curiosity,
with responsibility.

Helpful enough to guide a purchase.
Honest enough to explain its limits.

What BuyCacao does.

BuyCacao is a cacao information and buying-guide website. We help readers understand ingredient lists, find preparation methods, and make informed choices. We do not sell, take payment for, or ship cacao. Purchases and customer service take place with the seller.

Research is not a taste test.

Our current guides use attributed seller listings and preparation references. Each guide identifies its sources, check date, limitations, and editorial responsibility. Seller claims are not independent verification. We have not performed the kitchen tests, farm visits, or product tastings that would justify claiming firsthand experience or awarding review scores.

AI assists research organization and writing. It is not a source or a substitute for evidence. BuyCacao is responsible for the published work. Our illustrations are AI-generated and are not photographs of tested products, named farms, or real contributors.

Commercial, not concealed.

Kokoleka is our featured affiliate partner, and BuyCacao's founder knows its owner personally. We may earn a commission on qualifying referrals. That relationship explains our initial focus; it does not establish that Kokoleka is the best choice for everyone.

We do not currently offer a discount code, and we have not yet verified how the seller credits referrals; a click alone does not guarantee us a commission. Seller prices, inventory, preparation directions, and terms can change. Check them before ordering.

Our finder also includes Cacao Laboratory and KAKAO through non-affiliate links. Its current spice and floral options are from Kokoleka; we do not present that selection as a complete market comparison. Commercial relationships are identified near the relevant links. Ingredient differences and cited evidence, not commission rates, should support a reader's decision.

Corrections and contact.

Questions or corrections: hello@buycacao.com. Include the page URL and the statement you are asking about, with a source if you have one. Please do not send payment details or private health information.

We review corrections and update affected guides with the relevant source-check date. No outcome or response-time guarantee is implied. Health questions belong with a qualified professional, not a shopping guide.
