Raw material for production
The wood utilized originates from our proprietary farms in the Paraguayan Chaco. These sources adhere to forest management plans and road openings, possessing all the requisite official records from the Forestry and Environmental Administration of the country.
The production of Natural Charcoal is made from hardwoods, with a high calorific value. The wood that is most in demand among our customers is the White Quebracho.
The bulk of the production is carried out in a semi-artisanal way, in clay brick kilns called half orange, which allow a degree of carbonization to be achieved. The entire process spans eleven days, with a standard conversion ratio of 3 cubic centimeters of firewood resulting in 1 cubic meter of charcoal.
