A cacao shaped by pure terroir expression and dedicated craftsmanship

Exceptional organic cacao born from a committed partnership, ensuring steady quality and a distinctive flavor identity.

Deeply rooted in history, cacao cultivation dates back to ancient times.
When we chose to ship these cacaos by sail, building a strong and reliable supply chain with our partners at CacaoHunters became essential. Amid rising global prices and uncertainties around quality, this collaboration allowed us to secure a steady and consistent supply.

ANCESTRAL Cacao, certified organic, is the result of a shared commitment between Nahù and CacaoHunters. To ensure quality at every stage, several small processing centers were established close to the production areas, including Jimain, Kuanime, and Gunchuwua.

Post-harvest operations follow CacaoHunters’ rigorous protocol. This partnership builds on commercial relationships initiated in 2017 through strategic alliances with various organizations and the support of Canadian cooperation (SOCODEVI).

Region Sierra Nevada

The Colombian Sierra Nevada is a large mountain that encompasses all climate zones, with wonderful and inhospitable places. It has served as a refuge for indigenous peoples since the conquest of the Americas until today, preserving their ancestral customs and harmony with nature. This, along with the mysticism behind the products they offer—such as coffee, panela, and of course, cacao—awakens great interest in contributing to the preservation of these ancient communities.
The Sierra Nevada spans three departments (Magdalena, Guajira, and Cesar). In this case, the Association of Indigenous Producer Families Seynekun, located in Pueblo Bello, Cesar, is involved.
