We represent a major Brazilian producer of a 40% grade artisan alcoholic liquor, producing over 12 million liters of the spirit per year. Scale, standardization, competitive pricing, and guaranteed delivery are features of the organization based in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, benefiting from the exclusive and pioneer blending technique produced from sugar cane juice in cooper stills which connoisseurs elected one of the best cachaca in Brazil in a contest organized by Playboy magazine in 2003. Production is done under strict environmental guidelines being ecologically correct and its fermentation is made from yeast captured just in the environment. The sugar cane stems are manually harvested. Slash-and-burn practices and the use of chemicals are both prohibited.

Main brand is Samba Cana and the capacity to export on a long term basis is of 10 containers of 20 feet per month (due to Government licenses needed to export we normally demand 60 days to complete the whole transaction).

Actually, a demanding international market has been appreciating the unique Brazilian drink, an icy national cocktail made with limes and the sugar cane liquor called caipirinha - the name means country girl.
