First to import cacao from the Comalapa farm to Europe

From 2021, we witnessed the agricultural work done to preserve organic matter in the soil to regulate erosion.

Discover the cocoa of Luis Barrientos, owner of the Comalapa farm in El Salvador. In 2022, we were the first to import cacoa from the Comalapa farm to Europe.

Since then, some of Europe's finest chocolate makers have been using Hacienda Comalapa cocoa and have had the chance to visit the plantation.

The trip brought producers and artisans closer together, and they were able to see for themselves the reasons why this cocoa is so high quality.

Die Plantage Hacienda Comalapa

The cacao trees on the Comalapa farm were planted in the early 2010s by Luis Barrientos, the farm's owner. The farm has been in his family for several generations.

The south of the farm offers an impressive view of the Pacific coast and the north of the Izalco volcano. Hacienda Comalapa is in a region mainly dedicated to cattle breeding and the cultivation of sugar cane and cereals. This beautifully preserved natural oasis contrasts with the extreme poverty of the neighboring communities. This is where cacao can change lives by providing better working conditions. ​ 

The water source at the heart of the hacienda has remained intact. It is protected by a forest of ancient trees that also provides shade for the cacao. From 2021, we witnessed the agricultural work done to preserve organic matter in the soil to regulate erosion.

Ein paar Worte zu Luis Barrientos

Luis Barrientos is a respected cacao producer in the region, thanks to his farm, his virtuous farming practices and the high-quality team that has surrounded him since he planted his first cacaoes in the early 2010s. For example, Jonás, who is responsible for post-harvest practices, has become an expert. He is called on by cocoa farmers in the surrounding area who want to improve their fermentation practices.

One of Luis Barrientos' major projects for 2022 was the construction of a warehouse that would provide ideal storage conditions and guarantee the preservation of the cocoa before its final quality control and export. The drying and fermentation areas have also been enlarged and renovated.
