Cacao ancestral

Deeply ancestral, the story of cacao cultivation stretches through the ages, reaching back to ancient times.

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. Cacao ANCESTRAL, certified organic, is the result of a joint effort between Belco and Cacao Hunters.

They have small processing centers strategically located based on productive hubs, such as Jimain, Kuanime, and Gunchuwua.
The post-harvest process follows the benefit protocol of Cacao Hunters, with commercial relations starting in 2017 through strategic alliances with organizations and Canadian cooperation (SOCODEVI).
