El Salvador - Tecapa Chinameca - Usulutan - Cyrille Beraud

Cyrille has one hand in El Salvador and one in France. The one in France is refining his chocolate making technique with the idea of soon making his own bars and the one in El Salvador is on his farm. His team, led by agronomist Ely Baños, oversees production and water conservation and management, as well as the implementation of good agricultural practices. Another key member, Armando Guevara (pictured below left), is responsible for post-harvest practices, and this year he has established himself as an expert in fermentation and is also in charge of sorting the dry beans and packaging them, among so many jobs on the farm. ​
