Montes de Oro is a company that belongs to the Gamboa Chacón family which have dedicated more than 30 years of coffee production and recently processes the coffee in their own mill. The manager of the company is Emilio Gamboa, an Agronomist Engineer, who works together with his father and his father’s well known experience, being together in charge of the whole coffee plantation in general. The farm works under the concept of Integrated Handling of Plagues, where samplings in different areas are made and chemical controls are done when the crop needs it.

The coffee crop lies under shade with different types of trees (poro, guaba and guabilla) from the family of the Fabaceas, as well as Musas sp ( banana tree and guinean) plus other species of plants. Natural barriers are used to protect and to increase the organic matter in the ground, such as zacate vertiber ( vertiber grass) .

Emilio quotes “With the mill, we have experienced emotions, preoccupations, passion for our product, but most important it is the mill that has united our family, who participates actively in the business”.

It is important to mention, that the quality in the coffee cup, is the joint effort of the producer, the mill and the people who commercialize the product, but without a doubt “to be excellent and to achieve success, the most important, is to do what you like the most".
