Embark on a virtual journey through Peirot’s cacao farm, where sustainable practices meet agricultural excellence. Our dedicated team, guided by expert agronomists and environmental scientists, cultivates cacao in a manner that respects both the land and the delicate ecosystem.
From Seed to Harvest:
Nursery Cultivation: Our journey begins in the nursery, where cacao seedlings are meticulously nurtured under controlled conditions to ensure optimal growth and health.
Field Management: The young seedlings are then carefully transplanted into our well-maintained fields, where they thrive under the warm tropical sun. Our expert team oversees the farm’s irrigation, fertilization, and pest control practices, ensuring a healthy and productive environment.
Pollination: Nature plays a crucial role in cacao production. Pollinators, such as midge flies, visit the cacao flowers, facilitating pollination and ensuring a bountiful harvest.
Harvesting: When the cacao pods ripen to their peak, our skilled farmers meticulously select and harvest them, ensuring optimal quality and flavor.
Beyond the Harvest:
Fermentation & Drying: The harvested cacao pods undergo a carefully controlled fermentation and drying process, which develops the unique flavor and aroma of our cacao beans.
Sustainability Initiatives: At Peirot, we are committed to sustainable practices. Our team implements innovative techniques to reduce our environmental footprint, such as promoting biodiversity, conserving water resources, and minimizing the use of chemical inputs.
Join us on this virtual tour and discover how Peirot’s dedication to sustainable agriculture and the expertise of our team contribute to producing high-quality cacao.
