Cacao Grown as a Forest Refuge, Not a Plantation

Finca Caposa represents the fusion of tradition, biodiversity, and resilience. Originally established as an ornamental plant nursery, it has evolved into a cacao project that protects a unique forest oasis surrounded by extensive sugarcane monocultures and expanding urban landscapes.

The farm is dedicated to organic practices, reforestation, and wildlife conservation, ensuring that every bean reflects respect for both nature and cultural heritage. Its Salvadoran fine cacao, rooted in unique Criollo genetics, carries the distinctive character of a landscape where ecological preservation and cultural tradition go hand in hand.

Our cacao holds Organic Certification granted by Mayacert, S.A., ensuring that our cultivation practices avoid synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Instead, we use natural fertilizers and integrated pest management to preserve soil health, biodiversity, and product quality.
