Los Nogales is a very special farm for JASAL as it was the first farm that the Salaverria family bought and it is where Jose Antonio Salaverria grew up, surrounded by the fruits of the farm. He still manages all the farm operations now, with Orlando Garcia the specific manager for Los Nogales itself. Los Nogales translates into English as walnut tree, one of the crops that grew there.
Cherry is processed at their centralised processing mill, Beneficio Los Cruces. A building over 100 years old and described as an ‘antique house’ forms the central part of the mill, with researchers claiming Che Guevara hid there on his journey through Latin America. It handles processing for all the Jasal farms.
