Hacienda Victoria is a single-estate farm locates in Cerecita, near the coast of Ecuador.

More than a farm, Hacienda Victoria is a community. Through its operations, it provides stable employment and income to over one hundred families while promoting responsible agricultural practices and protecting the surrounding environment. By balancing productivity, social impact, and environmental stewardship, the estate contributes to a more sustainable future for both people and nature.

THE FARM

The cacao trees at Hacienda Victoria are recognised for their exceptional fine-flavour potential and high productivity, with yields exceeding 2 tonnes per hectare. Through its commitment to quality, innovation and sustainable farming practices, the estate has played an important role in the renewed appreciation of Ecuador's iconic Arriba Nacional cacao.

POST HARVEST

Our beans are carefully fermented, thoroughly dried, and consistently deliver the distinctive flavour profile for which Arriba Nacional cacao is renowned.

Through years of research and experimentation, Hacienda Victoria has developed more than 30 fermentation protocols for Arriba Nacional cacao. This expertise allows us to tailor post-harvest processes to achieve specific flavour characteristics and deliver greater consistency from harvest to harvest.
