"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).
