ORIGEN
ZOCAY
Impacting bean-to-bar chocolate makers and smallholder farmers’ lives through fine flavor cacao.
Origen Zocay is located in the municipalities of Vista Hermosa and San Juan de Arama, in the Meta department, in a Piedmont region near the easter range called “Piedemonte Llanero” with an unmatched biological richness. It is considered an extension of the Amazonian Jungle, making this a unique terroir for cacao.
Our origin Zocay operations are centralized in Vista Hermosa (which translates: Beautiful Sight for the beauty of the sunsets, typical of this region)
It is named ZOCAY to draw attention to a vulnerable species endemic to the zone where we operate: The Zocay Monkey (Callicebus ornatus).
