The Brazilian Cachaça History

Between 1532 and 1548, when Brazil was a Colony, it was discovered the wine made of sugar cane and it was called of Garapa Azeda. Without alcohol, it was considered, for a while, a secondary product of the sugar industry.

Only after the middle of the XVI Century, the Garapa Azeda started to be distillated in stills, receiving the name of Aguardente or Cachaça.

During the XX Century, when its quality got refined, its aroma and special flavour made it become known around the world, just like Samba Music and the Brazilian Carnival.
