While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Saoró is an Irish company founded by myself (Shamanic Practitioner Vivienne Dempsey) and partner, Patrick Daly, offering premium, ethically sourced cacao. Rooted in sustainability, community, and heart-led leadership, we partner with local agricultural cooperatives in Sierra Leone, Peru and Indonesia to bring you ceremonial-grade cacao that nourishes both people and planet. Saoró stands for fairness, regeneration and conscious consumption. Our cacao is sourced ethically and transparently, with fair pay for farmers and a commitment to biodiversity and rainforest regeneration. Our commitment extends beyond cacao, with contributions to global conservation initiatives such as the International Tiger Project, alongside rainforest and cacao canopy regeneration. Beyond supplying ceremonial cacao, The Saoró Experience was created to connect artists, healers, practitioners, and activists across Ireland. It is a platform for those on a healing path, whether through shamanism, energy work, cacao, or other spiritual and holistic traditions, to connect, collaborate, and uplift one another by sharing their creative work, upcoming events, and practitioner offerings. Saoró being rooted in shamanism is pretty unique, with the spirit of the brand being guided in this light, and a genuine desire to share cacao as a sacred medicine rather than a commodity. Our ethos is activist-led. Profits are reinvested into community. We prioritise meaningful support for both our Irish community and our Indigenous producer partners, while also placing great care on flavour and quality, working closely with the talented chocolatier Lisi Shattell to develop a cacao that tastes exceptional (not to be biased!). When making decisions, we follow what feels right, ethical, and necessary, supporting cacao canopy regeneration and choosing revolution over convenience in how business is done.
I use this cacao in my practice and the quality is always exceptional.
Trusted producers, careful handling, and real respect for the full process.
Supporting Saoró feels like supporting the people who cultivate and the communities that work with Cacao.
I have tried many ceremonial grade cacao’s and this is hands down the finest one, with their Peruvian & Borneo bars being my absolute favourites. Also I admire this brand for what they stand for & how they are supporting the creatives & holistic practitioners of Ireland, whilst being devoted to ethical, sustainable and regenerative sourcing. A company that I hope soars. Love what they’re doing. Premium quality product.
