Story
Fazenda Camboa Estate is located in the heart of Brazil’s so-called “Costa do Cacao”, or Cacao Coast, in the south of the state of Bahia. The region is steeped in the history of cacao production, of which Fazenda Camboa is a living proof. The estate is owned and managed by Arthur and Eduardo Carvalho, brothers  and great- grandsons of the founding father of the plantation.
