Meet Our Pineapple Experts
Our pineapple chips the result of the dedication of Johan and Fabián, two local farmers who nurture this organic fruit through a meticulous two-year growing process.
Fabián, 24 years old, comes from a family with a long tradition in pineapple cultivation—just like Johan, who is 22. Together, they work to create opportunities for young people, providing sustainable tools for fair and stable incomes. Their hard work brings you the fresh and flavorful baked pineapple chips and slices you love!
