Popayan, Colombia — June 3, 2025 — Cacao Hunters, Colombia’s most awarded premium chocolate brand, is proud to announce its official launch in the United States. Renowned for its award-winning single-origin chocolates and commitment to ethical sourcing, Cacao Hunters brings a bold new taste of Latin American craftsmanship to American consumers seeking authentic, high-quality chocolate experiences.
Born in the heart of Colombia’s cacao-growing regions, Cacao Hunters works hand-in-hand with local farmers across remote regions like Sierra Nevada, Tumaco, and Arauca—some of the most biodiverse cacao terroirs in the world. With an emphasis on sustainability, traceability, and flavor excellence, the company has earned global recognition from the International Chocolate Awards, the Salon du Chocolat in Paris, and more.
“We are excited to finally share our passion for Colombian cacao with chocolate lovers across the U.S.,” said Alejandro Gomez, former CEO and current head of US expansion for Cacao Hunters. “Every bar tells a story—of native cacao, vibrant culture, and the dedicated communities who cultivate it.”
U.S. consumers can now discover Cacao Hunters’ range of premium products, including dark and milk chocolate bars made with rare varietals, unique regional flavors, and zero compromise on quality or ethics.
Cacao Hunters products are now available online at barandcocoa.com and in-store at Whole Food’s Market nationwide. We will be rolling out to select specialty retailers and gourmet grocers across the country in 2025 with new product offerings.
