natural process
Finca Villa Galicia sits in the mountains of Ataco, El Salvador, uniquely set on mostly flat land with humid, windy conditions and clay-rich soils. Around 50% natural shade and untouched soil create a nutrient-rich environment, supporting healthy tree growth and natural fertilisation. Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, sorted by Brix level, and slowly dried on raised beds for 20–30 days, enhancing sweetness and fruit character. The farm’s elevation and steady airflow provide ideal conditions for consistent, controlled drying. Mauricio’s natural approach to farming and processing highlights the distinct character of both the region and the farm itself.
