Arriba Cacao was originally found in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and got its name because natives and explorers could smell its scent down the river, in Spanish, \u201cde r\u00edo arriba.\u201d <\/p>\n

Some archeologists believe that Ecuador may have been the original home of the cocoa bean and have found evidence that it was harvested and consumed more than 5,000 years ago. <\/p>\n
