WHY OUR AÇAÍ IS DIFFERENT

Most açaí travels thousands of kilometres before it reaches a bowl. Ours grows twenty minutes' walk from the Pacific, in soil we spent years bringing back to life.

FROM OUR FINCA

Two ingredients.
Nothing else.

Our açaí products contain only pure açaí pulp and a special banana from our land known as the ‘Ice Cream’ banana.

FINCA VIDA PURA

Our finca.
A forest we planted back.

For years this land was used for cattle, with a monoculture of genetically modified pasture. We found it deeply degraded, with very few trees. In places it was pure mud.

CHAPTER ONE · THE FAMILY

Barcelona,
then the jungle.

We are a couple from Spain and Brazil. In 2020 we left Barcelona to look for a life closer to nature — and found it on a hillside in Playa Hermosa de Uvita.

THE AÇAÍ BOOK

A modern
plant book.

What açaí actually is, how the palm grows from seed to harvest, and what's inside the berry — told plate by plate.

FROM THE PALM TO THE BOWL

Deep, earthy,
alive.

Fresh açaí tastes of wild berries and cacao. Add fruit from the farm and it becomes breakfast.

LIFE IN THE FOOD FOREST

Açaí never
grows alone.

Papaya, jackfruit, annona and bamboo grow between the palms. Each tree shades, feeds or protects another — and the birds are coming back.
