The Mother Tree
The Fortunato Family and all farm families work together during cacao harvest season. Harvest is a family affair. The USDA requested random samples from trees throughout the Marañón Canyon for genetic testing. All trees tested at least 98% Pure Nacional. The 4th tree tested was100% Pure Nacional. That ''Mother Tree'' lives on the Fortunato Family farm. The Fortunato No. 4 brand was born.
