The Serranía del Perijá has a life of its own and unparalleled landscapes
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. 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. The cacao is produced by rural communities and some indigenous ethnic groups (Wiwa).
The genetics of the cacao is a mixture of hybrid materials and clones. The hybrids are materials that have been distributed throughout Colombian territory without specific knowledge of their origin. The most accepted theory is that they come from the Cauca River Valley and the banks of the Magdalena River, mixed with Venezuelan materials from the southern part of Lake Maracaibo.
The post-harvest process is carried out following the benefit protocol of Cacao Hunters, with commercial relations starting in 2022 through strategic alliances with organizations and Canadian cooperation (SOCODEVI).

Association Asoproagro & Asoagroperija
The producers are committed to sustainable and resilient agriculture. These regions have suffered from violence and displacement due to the armed conflict in the country in recent decades, but they continue to uphold the tradition of cacao farming and legal agriculture. In this case, the cacao belongs to the Association of Agricultural Producers Los Encantos, located in Media Luna, San Diego, Cesar. This association has 25 members who market the cacao in its raw form, and at the processing center, it undergoes fermentation and drying.
There are also organizations committed to the production of specialty cacao, which allows for the continuity of supply.
