They had prepared a wonderful lunch of rollo de pituca with legumes and eggs, pachamanca (\u201cearthen pot\u201d, from the Quechua pacha (earth) and manka (pot)), a typical Peruvian dish consisting of stone-cooked cuy (guinea pig cooked on pre-heated stones), mashed bananas and legumes, banana rice, boiled yucca with fresh cheese, coffee jelly with Chantilly cream and coffee pudding. All served with an excellent orange juice in the company of our charming hosts, especially Ida and Iris (to whom we promise we will send a photo of the iris flower, since she is not familiar with it). Before sitting down to eat, they led us to a small table specially prepared for us with all kinds of fruit and vegetables, explaining the correct ways to use banana for frying, banana to be eaten raw (short and chubby), orange, orange lemon, pituca, yucca and, last but not least, flowers as a gift for us!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this point the president, Adolfo, tells us his story. Originally from an Andean community, he moved to Alto Palomar for love. His mother-in-law was a pioneer in the area; she arrived when the forest was still virgin and the only way to enter it was with a machete. Adolfo began to cut wood to sell in the nearest village, Villa Rica. He carried it to the village on 25 donkeys and the first in the line always wore a cowbell, since the forest was so dense that without any sound to guide them the line of donkeys would eventually have been lost.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<!-- Immagine -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative w-full lg:w-1\/2 flex flex-col order-2 lg:order-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"relative overflow-hidden rounded aspect-[5\/4] order-2 lg:order-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdecoding=\"async\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"w-full h-full object-center object-cover\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.lepiantagionidelcaffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/peru_alto_palomar-21-2048x1536-1.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Amidst colourful butterflies and forest delicacies\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n    <section data-block=\"simple-center-title-block\" class=\"relative page-padding title-center-block  mb-8 mt-10 lg:mt-14 xl:mt-16\">\n        <h2 class=\"text-4xl lg:text-5xl font-bold text-center text-balance uppercase pb-3 \">Organic coffee cultivation in the heart of the Amazon<\/h2>\n                    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<section data-block=\"text-image-block\" class=\"relative page-padding text-image-block \">\n\t<div class=\"relative max-w-wide mx-auto box-spacing-sm\">\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row gap-6 lg:gap-8 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<!-- Testo -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full lg:w-1\/2 lg:p-10 flex flex-col order-1 lg:order-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-3xl lg:text-4xl 2xl:text-5xl font-bold uppercase mb-4 lg:mb-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhere does the coffee we have selected come from?\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose prose-p:text-foreground prose-p:text-balance prose-ul:text-foreground prose-p:text-base\/[130%] prose-ul:text-base\/[130%]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Amazon River basin in Peru is the production area of a coffee that is as excellent as it is little known. Its lack of fame is probably also due to transportation problems and to the critical political situation in the area over the last thirty or so years, with the Sendero Luminoso terrorist group preventing cooperatives of small producers, such as Alto Palomar with more than 100 producers, from working in tranquility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This coffee is grown in the shade of undergrowth in which species native to the region predominate, so ensuring the maintenance and regeneration of indigenous biodiversity.
