Sherry barrel is used as an aging barrel by the Sherry winery in the whisky industry. Sherry is a famous fortified wine produced in the sunny Jerez region of southern Spain. Sherry must be ripened by the Solera system (SoleraSystem) in the process of making sherry. The Solera system essentially refers to the process of mixing and aging different vintages of sherry after being fortified. In the Solera system, all the barrels are stacked according to the vintage, with the oldest sherry at the bottom and the youngest sherry at the top, extracting part of the wine from the bottom barrel each year for bottling and sales, and then extracting the appropriate proportion from the upper barrel to replenish it, which is what makes sherry unique.

Most of the coffee varieties grown in Honduras are Arabica, including bourbon Bourbon and Kaddura Caturra.

Kaddura, a natural variety of bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its tree is not as tall and shorter as bourbon. Due to inheriting the blood of bourbon, the resistance is relatively weak, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon. It is found in Brazil, but Kaddura is not suitable for growing in Brazil, so it is not planted on a large scale in Brazil, but is popular in Central and South America, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Kaduai is an artificial cross between Kaddura and Mondu Novo. Kaduai has a good ability to resist natural disasters, especially wind and rain. Kaduai tree species are relatively low, relative to other coffee trees.

The fruit of Kaduai is longer and more difficult to pick, and the fruit is both red and yellow. Pacas is a natural variety of bourbon. Like other widely cultivated low-bourbon varieties, Pacas is a single gene mutation. It is low mainly because the coffee tree is small and has high and low yield potential. It can be mixed with other fruits and other plants to increase the yield of coffee cherries.

Masaguara is a municipality of Intibuca province in Honduras, located in the southern part of the JesusdeOtoro Valley. Surrounded by mountains and hills, the State of Zhou is mainly devoted to coffee growers and is the main engine of the local economy. The area corresponding to the valley is dedicated to growing basic grains and livestock. The origin of his name: according to Mr. AlbertoMembreno's "indigenous place name", Masaguara means "place with deer".

There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, mainly small coffee plantations, which account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras.
