100% Natural Cacay Producers
Creating economic, social, and environmental value
At Arlés, we do not just produce cacay oil.
At Arlés, we do not just produce cacay oil.
We cultivate a vision for the future where agroindustry, sustainability, and innovation can grow together.
From Colombia, in a privileged location between the Orinoquía and the Amazon, we develop an agro-industrial model that transforms the value of cacay into a real opportunity for the skin, for the territory, and for future generations.
We are agro-industrial producers who believe in doing things right from the root.
With more than 10 years of experience, at Arlés we have worked to consolidate a premium cacay oil production model that combines quality, science, traceability, and sustainability.
Our commitment is not simply to extract a high-value natural ingredient; it is to build an operation capable of generating economic, social, and environmental value from the Colombian countryside.
We believe in a more conscious agroindustry. One that understands that true growth is not measured only in production, but also in the way it is cultivated, transformed, and how it positively impacts the environment.
Our story
Arlés was born from a clear conviction: cacay should not be only a natural promise, but a real opportunity to develop a high value-added industry in Colombia. That is why we decided to commit to a specialized model focused on the production of natural, sustainable, dermocosmetic-grade cacay oil.
Over time, this vision became a stronger, more technical, and more precise operation. Today we are one of the few cacay oil producers with a proposal that integrates cultivation, monitoring, transformation, and a long-term vision of sustainability.
We did not get here by chance. We got here thanks to a vision that understands that the future of agriculture lies in producing better, with greater intelligence, greater responsibility, and greater purpose.
What makes us different
We do not just grow cacay. We grow trust.
Premium-focused quality
We develop cacay oil (Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil) designed to meet the highest quality standards, with a proposal aimed at the dermocosmetic industry and markets that value natural, sustainable, and functional ingredients.
Precision agriculture
We have incorporated plantation intelligence and individual tracking from seed to oil. This allows us to make decisions with greater precision and care for every stage of the process with greater control and traceability.
Sustainability translated into action
Our model integrates certifications, sustainable development goals, and a long-term environmental vision. We do not talk about sustainability as a discourse: we incorporate it into the way we operate, grow, and project the business.
