Ingredients and Allergens

  • All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.

  • The bars of chocolate from other chocolate makers are all dark chocolate; however, some makers might have processed their bars on machinery that also processes milk chocolate, or chocolate with additional ingredients. If you have an allergy, we have linked each company, so feel free to research your specific restriction. We strongly suggest looking at the labels, and while there are no substitutions, we recommend passing any bars you are unable to eat along to a friend.

About Tumaco, Columbia

Cacao Hunters is the first Colombian company that is locally sourcing and producing chocolate in Colombia. They represent the sort of partner that you hope to find as they are open to innovation and experimentation which allows them to produce the best cacao possible. Cacao Hunters are passionately working with farmers producing local cultivars in regions for which income generation has been very difficult due to recent conflict. Owners Carlos Ignacio Velasco and Mayumi Ogata (a former pastry chef) met in 2009 in Japan and have been working together since then in challenging areas of Colombia to produce high-quality cacao.

Tumaco makes up more than 60% of the cacao that Cacao Hunters use for their own chocolate brand and they have strong alliances with the local producers, supporting families through higher and more stable prices. Cacao Hunters works with a variety of associations in Tumaco. Each association ferments their own cacao, using assistance and advice from Cacao Hunters. You can now find Cacao Hunters in the best chocolate shops in major Colombian cities. In 2016, the Cacao Hunters’ Tumaco bar won for best milk chocolate bar in a competition of 900 products in Osaka, Japan.
