Cacaocultivation could properly be called clean and soil-protective, given Colombia’s low levels of chemical fertilizer and pesticide utilization. Cacao growing is biological and ecological. Our plantations use edge technology, and high-performance materials; we are world leaders, and the only country whose cacao plantations are based on quality.

Compañía Nacional de Chocolates has been delivering Promotion services for the country for almost 50 years. Right now, it is working on these very precise objectives: project assessment, materials supply, and training and information, on the lookout for productive crops and top quality. And all this charge-free for the cacao grower.

The advanced work geneticists have developed for Santander cacao is supplemented by good processing, which demands good fermentation, good drying, and careful selection on the farm. Its top-notch quality is renowned not only in Colombia, but also worldwide. It is remarkably-tasting fine cacao, with fruity and floral flavors and exquisite aroma.
