Fine Cacao

Guatemala has a rich cacao history dating back to the Maya Civilization. The Mayas used cacao as a currency and as the drink of the gods. Even the word cacao derives from a Maya word, “Ka’kau.” Unfortunately, the history behind cacao production in our country has been lost. Guatemala is a net importer of cacao.

We have over 100 cacao varieties planted at Kampura; we are continuously looking for the best cacao. We can proudly say that Kampura is the only farm in Guatemala to have all of the SGU (Guatemala Selection) clones, which is a collection of native Guatemalan clones done in the 1960’s.

Our unique farming system creates the best ecosystem for cacao and nature to thrive. Our plantation is an agroforestry marvel; we are preserving two wood species that are in danger of becoming extinct, Genuine Mahogany and Honduran Rosewood.

Our 160 hectare agroforestry plantation produces one of the best cacao in the market.

We have our own quality laboratory onsite to check that every batch of cacao meets our quality standards. Our beans are carefully hand selected to make sure you receive only the best beans. The mix of our varieties will give you a unique flavor profile.
