Rodolfo Ruffatti from Finca el Salvador at 1.450 masl.
Finca El Salvador, FES, is a family run farm located in the north face of Cerro El Aguila in the Ahuachapan / Apaneca-llamatepec mountain range of El Salvador.

The farm was established in the 1920s and was bought in 1934 by Italian Rodolfo Ruffatti Riso from Torino, who had just landed in El Salvador to start a new life.

Since then, the farm has been in the Ruffatti family.

This year 2020, his grandson, also Rodolfo Ruffatti, who has been a key element in running the family business for years now, is taking charge of the farm from his father.

Location and planting style

The farm is located at an altitude range of about 1,450 to 1,640 meters above sea level and it is about 70 hectares, plus 20 hectares of wild forest, with an annual production of 500+ 69kg bags.

The farm has been focused on producing specialty grade coffees for years now and in the last few years they have been slowly changing to more exotic varieties such as Pink Bourbon from Huila, Kenya variety from El Salvador, SL28, Rume Sudan, Pacamara and 74110 from Ethiopia.

In order to achieve this, they are planting the lower elevation parts of the farm with Tabi, Portillo and Caturra varieties, aimed at volume production and large lots, while reserving the higher elevations of the farm (1,500m+) for the more exotic varieties.

The farm is also planted with some tropical hardwood which acts as shade for the coffee trees.

All of the processing is done by the Productor Coffee team also run by Rodolfo at the Juayua processing site which was setup by the team in order to process coffees from their own farms but also other neighboring farms from western El Salvador.

For this natural lot, the ripe cherries are sorted before being transferred to African beds where they are left to dry for days until achieving the right humidity levels.
