El Salvador at Expo Milano 2015: The Flavors of Coffee

Along the slopes of the mountain ranges of El Salvador are planted a number of different varieties of coffee: Metapán, with its sweet scent of chocolate, citrus and caramel; Balm-Quezaltepec, suggesting notes of honey, caramel and fruit; Chicontepec, its creamy flavor with hues of fruit and chocolate; Tecapa Chinameca with its myriad of floral fragrances and vanilla, and the sweet variety of Tecapa Chinameca.

El Salvador takes part in Expo Milano 2015 within the Coffee Cluster, and, with its concept “Quality and Diversity of Coffee. Sustainable and Competitive Production” emphasizes the strategic importance of this product in terms of its economic, social and environmental contributions. The Country's economy is based largely on plantation farming and indeed on its Pavilion, which extends over 125 square meters, there will be a photographic exhibition on its history of agriculture and the exhibition "Certified Coffee Plantations".

Visitors can then discover coffee and the unique landscape which gives it life.
