Cacao from Quindío, nestled in Colombia’s lush coffee-growing region, is truly exceptional. Grown in volcanic soil at high altitudes, this cacao benefits from rich minerals and ideal climate conditions that enhance its natural flavor complexity. The result is a fine flavor cacao known for its deep chocolate notes, hints of blackberry, subtle fruitiness, and a smooth, balanced profile. Quindío’s cacao reflects the region’s agricultural heritage and commitment to quality, making it a standout choice for craft chocolate.
The Soul Of Colombian Cacao
Tucked into the gentle slopes of the mountains in Quindio, cacao is grown at 1,339 meters above sea level, in the heart of Colombia’s Coffee Axis. This is a place without certifications or formal labels, but its spirit is undeniably organic. The land is respected. The ecosystem is honored. And every Trinitario cacao tree is cultivated as if it were the only one.
The cacao farm is home to carefully separated fine flavor aroma cacao varieties offering full traceability of its origin. This thoughtful approach gives De Olier Chocolatl something priceless: the ability to shape a unique sensory experience directly from a single origin, blending flavors with precision and artisanal skill.
De Olier Chocolatl is a family-owned single-origin bean-to-bar chocolate atelier located in the mountains of Salento, Colombia, dedicated to celebrating the true essence of Colombian cacao. Each harvest is transformed in their atelier by hand into delicious chocolate, completing a truly local and sustainable cycle. No intermediaries. No long supply chains.
