Grown in agroforestry, a cacao that protects the mangrove and reveals the richness of El Salvador.
We have been working with Hacienda La Carrera since 2021 — the largest cacao plantation in El Salvador and a key partner in the development of high-quality Salvadoran cacao.
Continuous improvements on the plantation are directly reflected in the superior quality of the beans. The fermentation center and drying station, perfectly scaled to the size of the estate, are kept in excellent condition and regularly updated to guarantee a precise post-harvest process.
Environmentally, Hacienda La Carrera exemplifies responsible cacao cultivation through agroforestry. The plantation serves as a natural barrier protecting the mangrove — a vital ecosystem where countless animal and plant species find refuge.
This responsible production model harmonizes exceptional cacao quality with the preservation of local ecosystems, at the heart of the Salvadoran terroir.
