Redefining Fermentation: Danilo’s 120-Hour Vision
Danilo Pérez views coffee farming as a business, and his family boasts a rich history in Colombian coffee production. With over two decades of experience in the coffee sector, Danilo Pérez and his family have established themselves as leaders in the region, owning numerous coffee farms. Among them, La Cabaña stands out as their crown jewel in the production of high-quality coffee. Danilo's journey in the world of coffee took an innovative turn eight years ago when he returned to Colombia from Australia.
Inspired by his experiences abroad and driven by a spirit of experimentation, Danilo decided to challenge traditional coffee processing conventions. It was then that "Caturra 120 Horas" was born, a unique coffee that has revolutionized the market. The idea stemmed from Danilo's desire to explore new horizons in coffee fermentation. His vision was clear: to extend the fermentation process beyond its usual limits to develop entirely new flavor profiles. The story of Danilo Pérez and Caturra 120 Horas is a testament to his innovative spirit.
It is living proof of how family tradition, combined with a forward-thinking vision and a willingness to experiment, can lead to extraordinary products that conquer the market and set new standards in the coffee industry.
