Proprietary
Genetic Plant
Materials
We have taken full advantage of both our proprietary genetic plant materials and recognized regional cocoa varieties to delivery cocoa beans with fine flavor characteristics in large production volumes – the ideal combination. Our farm has the following varieties of cocoa currently planted on the farm: CATIE R-1, CATIE R-4, CATIE R-6, CC-137, ICS-39, PMCT-58 and Costa Caribe Especial Clones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. These varieties are distinguished by the size of their beans (greater than 1 gram), their organoleptic flavors, and resistance to disease.
