En las faldas de Ahuachap\u00e1n, entre cafetales y caminos de tierra, hay un distrito que ha convertido una flor en identidad, en turismo y en orgullo nacional. San Lorenzo no solo cultiva loroco: lo vive, lo celebra y lo comparte con quien se anime a descubrirlo.<\/span><\/p>

Un viaje a la ra\u00edz del sabor<\/span><\/h2>

Llegar a San Lorenzo es entrar directo a la cocina ancestral salvadore\u00f1a. Aqu\u00ed crece, enredada entre cercas y traspatios, la planta que perfuma las pupusas, las sopas y las mesas de todo el pa\u00eds desde hace milenios. Su nombre viene del n\u00e1huatl\u00a0<\/span>Masakilit<\/em>, y su historia est\u00e1 tan entretejida con la nuestra que hoy forma parte del patrimonio intangible de El Salvador.<\/span><\/p>

Pero San Lorenzo no es solo el lugar donde nace el loroco: es un destino que invita a caminar entre plantaciones, conversar con las familias que lo cultivan generaci\u00f3n tras generaci\u00f3n, y entender \u2014con las manos en la tierra y el aroma en el aire\u2014 por qu\u00e9 este ingrediente es tan especial.<\/span><\/p>

El Festival del Loroco<\/span><\/h2>

Cada septiembre, San Lorenzo se transforma. El\u00a0<\/span>Festival del Loroco<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>re\u00fane a productores, emprendedores y viajeros en una celebraci\u00f3n que es puro color, sabor y tradici\u00f3n. Es la oportunidad perfecta para recorrer las plantaciones y ver de cerca c\u00f3mo se cultiva esta flor tan particular, acercarte a las tradiciones locales y a las historias de quienes han hecho del loroco su forma de vida, y probar una explosi\u00f3n de preparaciones: sopas, quesadillas, minutas, horchata y muchas creaciones m\u00e1s que muestran toda la versatilidad de este ingrediente. No es solo un festival gastron\u00f3mico, es una inmersi\u00f3n completa en la identidad de un territorio.<\/span><\/p>

Sabor con sello propio<\/span><\/h2>

Lo que hace a\u00fan m\u00e1s especial a San Lorenzo es que su loroco no es cualquier loroco. Desde el 31 de julio de 2018, la variedad\u00a0<\/span>Fernaldia pandurata Woodson<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>cuenta con la\u00a0<\/span>Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen \u00abLoroco de San Lorenzo\u00bb<\/strong>, un reconocimiento legal que certifica que solo en este distrito de Ahuachap\u00e1n se dan las condiciones exactas de suelo, clima y saber hacer para producir esta flor \u00fanica en el mundo.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Tradici\u00f3n que se reinventa<\/span><\/h2>

San Lorenzo tambi\u00e9n mira hacia adelante. Iniciativas locales como\u00a0<\/span>La Quiruba<\/strong>, en el Barrio La Vega, llevan el loroco m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la pupusa tradicional: salsas, conservas, un pesto de loroco y productos para untar que demuestran que este ingrediente ancestral tiene mucho m\u00e1s que ofrecer en la cocina contempor\u00e1nea.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

San Lorenzo te espera con las puertas abiertas de sus plantaciones, el bullicio de su festival y el aroma inconfundible de una flor que es, sin duda, parte del alma de El Salvador.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
