THE MOST AWARD-WINNING CHOCOLATE BRAND IN COLOMBIA
More than 192 awards recognize the rigorous work that starts in the field and is reflected in each bar.
What are the International Chocolate Awards?
The International Chocolate Awards are the most rigorous fine chocolate competition in the world. Through blind tastings, global experts evaluate ingredient purity, technical mastery, and aromatic complexity.
Sensory Profile
The balance and clarity of the natural flavor notes of each origin.
Technical execution
The quality of the refining, the luster, and the structure of the tempering.
Purity
The complete absence of artificial flavorings or fats other than cacao butter.
Post-harvest
Excellence in bean fermentation and drying carried out in the field.
Our passion for origin has been celebrated on the world’s biggest stages. From London to New York, Cacao Hunters has been honored by the most rigorous fine chocolate competitions on the planet. Every medal is a testament to the purity of Colombian cacao and the craftsmanship of our farming communities.
Tumaco Milk 53%
Crafted with a purpose. This bar was originally created so local farmers in the South Pacific could taste the fruit of their own labor.
While dark chocolate felt too intense for the community, this smooth profile with rich caramel notes became an instant local favorite—and went on to capture the global stage, being named the world’s best milk chocolate for two consecutive years.
Sierra Nevada 64%
Our co-founder, Mayumi Ogata, spent years searching for a rare cacao capable of naturally expressing vibrant red berry notes. She found it deep within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Thanks to the unique local genetics and meticulous micro-lot fermentation, this single-origin bar reveals an unparalleled aromatic profile, celebrated today among the finest in the world.
Arhuacos 72% — Heirloom
A living legacy. This bar is crafted from ancient cacao seeds protected for centuries by the indigenous Arhuaco community in their sacred mountains.
Formally certified as ‘Heirloom Cacao’ due to its rare genetics and historic value, this complex bar with floral and tropical fruit undertones earned Cacao Hunters its very first global recognition, ranking among TasteAtlas’s Top 100 food products in the world.
Every award is a living story that begins in the soil.
These awards reflect the work of more than 2,300 cacao-growing families and the diverse ecosystems of each region. For over ten years, these medals have been the natural consequence of acting with purpose from the start.
