“Agriculture is the profession of the wise, the most suitable for the simple, and the most noble occupation for any free man.”
It is an immense honor and a source of profound pride to announce that we have been double-awarded at the prestigious International Chocolate Awards, specifically in the Colombian Origin category.
This recognition is tangible proof of the dedicated effort and vision with which we have cultivated our land from its very foundation. Our commitment remains focused on the comprehensive training of rural men and women, steadfastly dedicated to producing cacao of fine aroma and exceptional flavor.
Today, we harvest the rewards of this labor with two prestigious Bronze awards:
- Caramelized Onion Chocolate with Putumayo Peppers.
- 85% Special Dark, featuring elegant notes of hazelnut cream
A Note of Sincere Gratitude
We extend our deepest gratitude to Chef Adán Bustos for generously sharing his passion and expertise, and to the Kilalatam team for their invaluable logistical and conceptual support.
Our heartfelt thanks also go to Engineer David Coba for his steadfast technical and operational guidance. His mastery in crafting unique sensory profiles has been instrumental, turning our first foray into the international stage into an unparalleled learning experience.
This achievement is a shared milestone that inspires us to continue exploring new frontiers in high-end chocolate making. It allows us to further elevate the reputation of El Castillo, Meta, as a global leader in the production of fine aroma and flavor cocoa.
To everyone who played a part in this journey—thank you for making this possible. 🍫🏆🏆🤎
