To meetAmilcar Ortez

Amílcar, a committed producer, not only grows cacao on his "San Jose" farm, but also supports his three neighbors (Finca El Zapote, Finca Los Chapetones, and Finca Santa Anita) by purchasing fresh cacao from their farms. Although these small producers have limited cacao volumes and are unable to ferment it independently, the collaboration between them allows them to gather enough cacao to ferment it in fermentation boxes, where the process lasts between 7 and 8 days.
