Los Pirineos
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Los Pirineos is a family-run estate in the Usulután department of El Salvador that has been producing coffee for over 130 years. The farm is currently managed by fifth-generation producer Diego Baraona, who took over operations in 2020 following the passing of his father, Gilberto. The family legacy is rooted in a deep history of coffee cultivation, with original plants and shade trees having been imported from Antigua, Guatemala.
Challenges
The farm operates on the slopes of a stand-alone volcano, requiring careful management of the unique microclimate and terrain to maintain consistent quality.
Innovations
The farm maintains the largest private seed bank in El Salvador, housing over 80 different coffee cultivars. They are recognized for their commitment to modern processing, de-pulping, and drying techniques, including the implementation of advanced fermentation methods.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
