When the adventure of transporting these cacaos by sail began, we were well aware of the importance of working on sourcing in collaboration with our friends at CACAOHUNTERS.

"Opita" is an expression generally used to describe people from Huila
This would guarantee that, in the midst of a storm of rising international cacao prices and quality risks, we would be able to remain effective at all levels and ensure a steady supply of cacao. Opita is the result of a joint effort between Belco and Cacao Hunters.
"Opita" is an expression generally used to describe people from the department of Huila.
Grown in simple agroforestry, this cocoa comes from the Huila region, and more specifically from the Rivera terroir, where cocoa plantations are found alongside coffee, vine and sugar cane plantations.
Under the shade of wood and fruit trees, the cocoa is harvested by hand, before being fermented in wooden crates and then dried at a constantly controlled temperature.

Association Corcacao
Corcacao is a company run by the Córdoba brothers, who started out as simple buyers of cacao from small producers, selling to large national companies. Today, these companies are transforming themselves and playing a decisive role in quality by collaborating with Cacao Hunters. In response to the demand for higher quality, Corcacao has set up a post-harvest centre (fermentation and drying).
