Sourcing

From La Mosquitia
to your formulation.

There is one true source of Elaeis oleifera. Here is where it grows, who harvests it, and how every shipment stays traceable end to end.

La Mosquitia grove
The Only True Source

La Mosquitia,
Honduras.

The American oil palm grows wild in the rainforests of La Mosquitia — the Gracias a Dios region on Honduras's northeastern coast. It does not grow in the places most "batana" is shipped from. Geography is the first proof of authenticity.
