Peñas Blancas

The Peñas Blancas Coffee Processing Center in Acevedo, Huila region, is much more than just a coffee processing facility – it's a transformative social project aimed at improving the quality of life for local coffee growers. Created with the goal of ensuring equal access to high-quality bean processing, Peñas Blancas supports small producers through modern infrastructure, technical training, and fair remuneration for their work.

This initiative is the result of a joint effort to build a sustainable and inclusive coffee sector in the region. Many producers delivering their coffee to Peñas Blancas previously struggled with numerous difficulties, such as lack of access to modern processing methods, unstable quality control, and limited sales opportunities. By centralizing the processing under expert supervision, the center ensures that every batch meets the highest specialty coffee standards, helping growers achieve better prices and long-term economic stability.

"Palatino" Process

While "Natural" refers to the dry processing of coffee cherries, the name "Palatino" (often found in coffees from the Huila region) usually alludes to a Pitalito-style selection or a specific regional profile originating from the Pitalito/Acevedo corridor. In the context of Nestor Lasso's experimental methods, this natural process often includes:

• Extended fermentation – coffee cherries undergo a controlled anaerobic fermentation phase before drying.

• Slow drying – coffee is dried on raised beds or in mechanical silos with strict temperature control to preserve delicate fruity acidity.
