It was selected by Lean Coffee Management, which manages MAV's agricultural project, for its high resistance to rust, its robustness against the wind and rain that affect the region with increasing frequency, and its ability to produce a lot at medium altitudes.

Marsellesa, a variety resistant to rust
Sourced by our agency in El Salvador
Valle de Oro is one of MAV Coffee's 3 farms. Here, nothing is left to chance, starting with the variety produced on the farm: Marsellesa.
On the subject of inputs, the farm is pesticide-free. The coffee trees are protected by the grasses that grow naturally at their feet. These grasses feed the insects that would otherwise feed on the coffee leaves. This way, MAV also avoids using insecticides.
To continue to preserve its coffee trees and regenerate the farm each year, Valle de Oro is managed as follows: the coffee trees are planted in rows, and each row is pruned differently from one year to the next:
- Row 1 generates 65% of the harvest ;
- Row 2 is in the recovery phase and generates 25% of the harvest. It will take the place of row 1 next year ;
- Row n°3 is pruned to generate 10% of the harvest, and will take the place of n°2 next year.

The region Apaneca Ilamatepec
It is believed that the first coffee trees were planted here in the mid-19th century. Ilamatepec is the largest coffee-growing region in El Salvador, with altitudes approaching 2,400 metres above sea level, and is renowned for the quality of its coffee. The most common varieties are Bourbon (64%) and Pacas (26%).
This volcanic chain, known as the Apaneca mountain range, has numerous craters (Ataco, Apaneca, Juayua, etc.) and is one of the most active volcanoes in El Salvador: Ilamatepec, also known as Santa Ana.
Most of the coffee in this region is grown under shade. This practice not only preserves the natural ecosystem, but also provides optimal growing conditions for the coffee plants. Many local producers have won international competitions.
