ABOUT AMARA CACAO

The way

What once began as Nomad Cacao, founded by Zelal Yildiz, evolved into something deeper. As a nomad, Zelal felt called to root herself more firmly. In a shamanic encounter, she was told that her path would reach far beyond cacao. Her answer came from the heart: “But cacao will always be my companion.”

From this moment, the name Amara emerged.
Amara means the eternal and the infinite – a symbol of timelessness and balance. It unites the feminine energy of Ama (love, nurturing mother) with the masculine energy of Ra (the sun, strength and power).

In this union, Zelal found the essence of her path: eternity in balance, with cacao as a lifelong guide and companion.
