Roaster: Pamela Aranciaga Mauricio

Juan Saldarriaga is a young producer who took over his family’s farms in 2012 and started to plant several different and new cultivars. He’s got two pulpers with capacity of 1600 kg cherries pr hour. He’s doing traditional fermentation in tanks, often with intermediate rinsing. He has built several different types of drying facilities, changed the processing, and started to manage a few other farms in the area. He is drying the naturals in a specially designed mechanical “cold dryer”, since drying is the biggest challenge in these environment due to humidity and temperature.
