NORANDINO FARMERS

Norandino is an agricultural cooperative, focussed on local Peruvian produce such as coffee and cacao. They strives to improve social, economic and environmental responsibility in all their products and processes. The production area covers the coast, mountains and jungle of northern Peru, in the departments of Piura, Tumbes, Amazonas, Cajamarca, Lambayeque and San Martín.

The cacao beans are sourced from the villages Palmas, Puerta Palache and Las Lomas in the San Lorenzo Valley. Part of the greater Piura Vally Peru. The terroir can be defined as dry forrest with just a few months of rain in the year. The cacao trees are nourished with water from the Andes mountains.

At Norandino the farmers ferment the beans between 6 to 8 days in wooden boxes. After the fermentation, the beans are dried in the sun and packed to be shipped to the Netherlands.
