About Us
We’re Not Just Chocolate Makers. We’re Guardians of Cacao & Nature.
Founded in 2015, Origen Cacao became one of Colombia’s pioneers in crafting organic cacao. Our mission goes beyond cacao—it's about honoring ancient traditions, empowering local communities, and preserving the sacred bond with Pachamama, the Great Mother Earth.
Each cup of our cacao tells a story—of rich Colombian soil, ethical harvesting, and the wisdom passed down through generations. By choosing Origen Cacao, you’re not just connecting to the spirit of cacao—you’re supporting a movement rooted in sustainability, cultural heritage, and deep respect for nature.

Real Chocolate
Our cacao and chocolate bars are made from only the purest ingredients, sourced sustainably and responsibly. We know and love our farmers, and through direct trade are improving the lives and lands of those we work with. Each territory has it own story, it’s own history and it’s own unique flavor. At our own territory, our cacao gets love everyday by our community of medicine people, and quite possibly may be the world's only cacao farm dedicated to ceremonial cacao, sharing the cacao knowledge and spirit.
- Made with pure, responsibly and sustainably sourced ingredients
- Supporting farmers directly through fair, ethical trade
- Every region offers distinct flavors and rich history
EXPLORE
Our Territory
Nestled in the Andes mountains, two and a half hours outside of Medellin, a waterfall cascades into a crystal clear river running through the heart of our land. Surrounded by tropical flowers, lush landscapes, cacao and coffee fields, old growth forests, wild animals and exotic birds, the Territorio de Origen Reserva Natural is a sanctuary for all. We are a multicultural community, dedicated to taking care of this beautiful land and sharing its blessings. We invite you to experience the land through our cacao, visit us for a tour, join us for a cacao immersion retreat, or co-create your own event with us here.
Join our Mission
Single Origin
Out of a love for the land, and a quest to explore, we have searched Colombia for beautiful cacao. Colombia is full of magical landscapes and amazing people, this creates the unique flavors and aromas of our chocolates. We want to share our love and knowledge with you.
Fair Trade
At Origen Cacao we have worked hard to develop a mutually fair and beneficial relationship with our growers. We pay above market prices for their cacao and we commit to the same growers. This ensures the money goes directly to the communities, and we get the best available Cacao for our Chocolate.
Community
We work closely with, and have close ties to many indigenous tribes like the Arhuaco tribe of the Sierra Nevada and the Siona of Putumayo. We believe that by direct trade with premium pricing we can help these communities, and share the story of these generous, beautiful people and their land.
Sustainability
We are in gratitude for all the beautiful gifts the great mother earth gives to us each day, and we are committed to honoring her with our eco-conscious compostable packaging, organic and sustainable farming practices, and commitment to all the creatures that inhabit this land.

I like to use this cacao during/ before my meditation practice. It has enhanced my practice in ways I can’t even describe.m. My husband likes it for his smoothies. We both enjoy it very much and in different ways. I feel blessed to be able to support such a beautiful enterprise. Enjoy!
Ceremonial cacao is one of the most grounding and heart-opening rituals I’ve welcomed into my mornings. It’s incredibly smooth, rich, and comforting, like a quiet whisper to your soul. You can feel it working gently through the heart space, softening, opening, and bringing you back to yourself. I love mine blended with warm almond milk, a touch of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey, it turns into the most delicious, nourishing cup. It’s not just a drink, it’s a moment… a slow, sacred start to the day.
This is BY FAR the best medicinal cacao I’ve ever had. I’ve been having it for 3 years now and I can’t live without it.I’ve Tried a bunch of medicinal cacao and there’s nothing like this. The taste, the quality, the smell, the effects, everything is so good.Yes, in summer it comes melted and it’s a whole block, and yes the bag is compostable and sometimes it comes a lil bit open, but this is what you get when your buying REAL cacao.You just have to grate it and that’s it.And the bag is compostable so it’s natural that sometimes it can rip. But hey, if you want low quality cacao you can go for powder that comes in plastic ;). There’s plenty on the market!But if you’re looking for something really well done, quality and ethically sourced, then this is your call.If I could give 10 stars, I would.
