Los Pirineos farm, located in the Usulután region of El Salvador, is run by Diego Baron, a fifth-generation coffee producer who inherit the farm from his father. Their family holds over 130 years experience, history and knowledge in coffee cultivation. Situated at 1,400 meters on a volcanic slope, the farm benefits from a unique microclimate of sunny days and cool breezes, ideal for cultivating exceptional coffees.
The farm is home to around 20 coffee varieties, including Pacamara and Bourbon, which make up the majority of its harvest. Los Pirineos keeps its own coffee variety garden and nursery containing approximately 70 different varieties of coffees. This work with varieties was a passion for Diego’s father Gilberto, and is a passion that Diego intends to carry on into the future of the farm by continuing to grow and experiment. Quality is the key but they also take good care of the environmental and social responsibility
Los Pirineos uses collected rainwater for processing, maintains bees for pollination, and provides year-round work to local staff. All the coffee at Los Pirineos is shade grown under trees planted by Diego’s father Gilberto, which provide not only quality growing conditions for the coffee, but additional habitat space for local fauna. The coffee named “Elite” is a nod to the farm’s 90-year-old Bourbon trees and features a washed processing method, resulting in a balanced, rich flavor profile.
