Salmo Plus Natural – A Genuine Origin Exclusive

Sourced from select producers who understand Genuine Origin’s quality standards, Salmo Plus Natural has become a staple at Genuine Origin.

This full-bodied, syrupy-sweet Cerrado blend soaks up all the delicious flavors of the region. Sun-ripened coffee cherries were left on the branch until they were bursting with concentrated sugars. Once adequately dried, the cherries were mechanically harvested, sorted, and set out on patios to absorb as much sugar and flavor from the fruit as possible.

In this signature coffee, Volcafe Brazil, Genuine Origin’s sister company, takes quality control a step further by screening and sorting the green coffee beans before packing and exporting the coffee to Genuine Origin’s warehouses.

Coffee from Cerrado

Cerrado is home to 5% of all the species that share our planet. This incredibly diverse biome is a rich savannah that receives abundant sunlight all year, and its ideal coffee-growing climate has only been recently discovered in the past 50 years. After frost and pests decimated Brazil’s coffee industry in 1975, entrepreneurial farmers that refused to give up ventured into Cerrado to plant new beginnings in this undeveloped region.

Today, coffee trees have spread far and wide across 210,000 hectares of land in Cerrado. It’s become a hub for innovation and advanced farming techniques, leading to a strong reputation for quality coffee.

About Brazilian Coffee

Brazil’s coffee story kicked off in 1727 with Arabica seeds smuggled from French Guiana, and within a century, it became the world’s leading coffee producer. Coffee fueled Brazil’s economy, dominated by agrarian oligarchs who drove production and exports, especially from São Paulo.

The abolition of slavery in 1888 brought waves of immigrants to coffee-growing regions, propelling Brazil’s coffee output to 80% of global supply by the 1920s. Though other countries have since increased their exports, Brazil still provides over 33% of the world’s coffee and consumes 20 million bags domestically, with a supply chain that generates more than 8 million jobs – proof of just how important coffee is to life in Brazil and how important Brazil is to coffee drinkers around the world.
