We grow what we make
Fine-flavor cacao from our farms in Norte de Santander, made into chocolate in Cúcuta.
Here, cacao has roots
The first cacao Colombia ever exported to Europe left this region in 1580.
From 36% white to 100% pure. They all start from the same fine-flavor cacao. What changes is the intensity with which it expresses itself.
Chocolate with a story. Each of these bars is a special edition made with single-origin cacao, artisan technique and a clear social purpose. From the transition away from illicit crops to binational blends, these bars tell something beyond flavor: they tell the truth.
The favorite line of those who create with cacao. Real couvertures in different percentages, cocoa powder and other artisan ingredients, made for pastry chefs, cooks and food lovers looking for quality, flavor and origin.
We buy directly from cacao-growing families in Sardinata, El Tarra, El Zulia, Bochalema and Sarare Toledano. Every lot is recorded in SC Origen, our traceability platform.
From the tree to the bar.

Origin with discernment.
- 01 Somos Cacao is born from the origin. Not as a concept, but as a practice.
- 02 Cacao is territory, process and people. None of that can be separated without losing its meaning.
- 03 We do not idealize nature: we understand it and transform it with respect.
- 04 Origin is a verifiable fact, not a figure of speech.
- 05 We do not try to rush what takes time. We understand chocolate as the consequence of the right decisions.
- 06 Somos Cacao is a way of transforming, not an adjective.
From the tree to your hands
Tree to bar: full control from the origin.
