Todos se unieron en coro para cantar la m\u00fasica conmovedora de los llanos de Arauca.\u00a0 Afortunadamente, justo antes de los anuncios principales, volvi\u00f3 la energ\u00eda y pudimos leer la lista de ganadores y subirlos al escenario para recibir sus certificados.<br \/><br \/>Entre los ganadores destac\u00f3 la empresa <em><strong>Cacao Hunters<\/strong><\/em> con barras elaboradas con cacao proveniente de la finca local Villa Gaby en Arauquita y una edici\u00f3n limitada con cacao de un proyecto social del norte del Cauca. En la categor\u00eda de alto porcentaje, obtuvieron una plata con <em>Hachimitsu 85%<\/em>, una barra sin manteca de cacao ni lecitina agregada que captura la gama de gen\u00e9tica fina que crece en la finca Villa Gaby en Arauquita.<br \/><br \/>En la categor\u00eda de chocolate amargo en microlotes, M\u00f3nica G\u00f3mez y su esposo Rafael Harb de <em><strong>Carlota Chocolat<\/strong><\/em>, una peque\u00f1a empresa de Bucaramanga, Santander, recibieron un Oro por una barra con un 70% de cacao proveniente de un solo agricultor en la emergente regi\u00f3n del Meta, la mismo ganadora de Oro en el concurso de cacao Grano de Oro esa noche.<br \/><br \/>Este concurso celebra a las regiones productoras de cacao de Arauca, Antioquia, Cauca, Huila, Meta, Santander y a los transformadores de toda Colombia que compran cacao de manera responsable y valoran la trazabilidad. Entre los ganadores destacaron chocolates aromatizados con frutas de la costa h\u00fameda del Pac\u00edfico como el boroj\u00f3, que recibi\u00f3 un premio especial por bioma) y preparaciones culinarias tradicionales como la arepa de ma\u00edz pelao santandereana para una textura crujiente con la que la <em><strong>Maluwa<\/strong><\/em> obtuvo un bronce y un premio especial de gastronom\u00eda.<br \/><br \/>El cacao es la base de econom\u00edas locales, del cambio social y cultural en Colombia, y es el tema del <strong><em>Sal\u00f3n del Cacao y Chocolate de Colombia<\/em><\/strong> que se celebra anualmente en el municipio de Arauquita junto al r\u00edo Arauca, la frontera con la sufrida Venezuela.<br \/><br \/>Cuando el Sal\u00f3n comenz\u00f3 hace once a\u00f1os, se celebraba bajo una carpa, a pocos pasos del lugar donde estaban los corrales para preciados toros y vacas para una feria ganadera paralela. La carpa se convirti\u00f3 en un hermoso edificio y el Sal\u00f3n ha crecido hasta albergar conferencias profesionales sobre cacao y chocolate, actuaciones de artistas y m\u00fasicos, importantes concursos, las clases de evaluaci\u00f3n sensorial del <a href=\"http:\/\/chocolatetastinginstitute.org\">Instituto Internacional de Cata de Chocolate y Cacao<\/a>, y ahora en su tercer a\u00f1o, el <strong><em>3er Concurso Nacional de Chocolate de Origen Colombiano<\/em><\/strong>, organizado en conjunto con los <em><strong>International Chocolate Awards<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ganadores<br \/>\nWinners of the 2024 Colombian Competition announced<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4061,"featured_media":52897,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[156,134,153,135,136,137,133],"class_list":["post-52893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombian","tag-156","tag-bean-to-bar","tag-colombia","tag-craft-chocolatier","tag-news","tag-results","tag-winners"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>3er.
