Meet Our Pineapple Experts
Our pineapple chips come from the dedication of Johan and Fabian, two local Farmers who nurture this organic fruit through a meticulous two-year growing process. Fabián is 24 years old and was raised in a family with a long tradition in pineapple cultivation, just like Johan, who is 22. Together, they work to create opportunities with young people with the aim of creating tools for fair and stable incomes, and their hard work brings you the fresh and flavorful baked pineapple chips and slices.
