STORY

The Piura Department, home of the Gran Palo Blanco, is the warmest area in Peru with only one rainy season in February and March. Unlike other cacao varieties, Gran Palo cacao likes these dry tropical conditions. Gran Palo Blanco derives its name from the village “Palo Blanco” where native beans are collected and from its high percentage of white beans. The variety was forgotten for a long time, untill it was rediscovered in 2008. Different then it’s brother “gran native blanco” the palo blanco has a pleasant hint of grean tea and jasmin.
