He produced it mainly for his own consumption, to supply the surrounding neighbours and to trade for supplies brought to Brazil from England.

The cachaça made by Germana is regarded as one of the best cachaças in the world. This is not surprising, when you consider the attention to detail and passion that goes into every drop that is produced – entirely by hand. After the fermentation, distillation and ageing process is completed, cachaça is bottled by hand and each bottle is carefully wrapped in banana straw to protect the spirit from light exposure.”][/trx_section][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_hoverbox image=”1711″ primary_title=”” hover_title=”Cachaça” shape=”square” hover_background_color=”chino” el_width=”50″]43% ABV

Cachaça (“ka-shah-sa”) is the national spirit of Brazil, made from distilled sugar cane juice and corn flour. Cachaça is distilled directly from the juice of the unrefined sugar cane, unlike rum which is distilled from molasses left over after extracting the sugar. Before distillation, the juice ferments naturally from yeasts present in the air in a wooden or metal container for three weeks. Cachaça is distilled in such a way that the scent of the sugar cane remains.

Traditionally cachaça is consumed neat, but is best known for its use as the base in the cocktail that made it famous, the Caipirinha. It can also be enjoyed as an accompaniment for an after-dinner coffee.[/vc_hoverbox][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][trx_button align=”center” link=”https://www.liquidity.co.za/portfolio/”]back to our portfolio[/trx_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]
