Cascaritas Barolo
by Hidardo Hernández from CAFESMO
Cascaritas Barolo is a bold yet gentle Arabica coffee of the Parainema variety, grown on Finca Cascaritas in Honduras by Hidardo Hernández and his family. Processed as a Natural, it was fermented with Barolo yeast to achieve a controlled, precise flavor profile. The result is a complex aroma with deep sweetness reminiscent of cherry and grape, carried by an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel. Lightly roasted, it shows its best potential as a Pour Over, Filter, in the Aeropress, or as a modern espresso.

About Cascaritas Barolo
The coffee is grown at 1,300 m elevation by Hidardo Hernández on Finca Cascaritas. For this microlot, Hidardo uses the Parainema variety.
Hidardo has a strong interest in experimental cultivation and processing methods, particularly the use of specialized yeast cultures to precisely control the coffee's fermentation process. For this coffee, he uses Barolo yeast, traditionally used in the production of Barolo wine from Piedmont. The coffee is inoculated with Barolo yeast and then processed as a Natural, dried whole in the sun on African raised beds.
The result is deep sweetness, aromas of cherry and grape, and a silky mouthfeel reminiscent of tea.
Hidardo relies exclusively on organic and sustainable farming methods for his coffee production.
