Finca
/ FEEN-ka /
Growing & TerroirSpanish
Definition
A farm or rural estate. In cigar country a finca usually includes fields, curing barns, and worker housing under one ownership, and premium producers often name their fincas on packaging.
Why it matters
Vertically integrated makers who own their fincas control seed, curing, and fermentation, which is why single-farm claims are worth checking.
In context
"The whole blend came off one finca in Jalapa, barn included."
