During the period of colonization, cachaça was a drink consumed by farmers and drovers to relax after a hard day's work or to help ease the harsh cold in the region of Santa Rita de Caldas, in the south of Minas Gerais. Often, it also served to animate the circle of friends. At that time, the distillate was seen as a popular and extremely strong drink, but it was adopted as the region's favorite.
After years of research and a rigorous selection of raw materials, always focusing on not losing its roots and preserving ancient traditions, Cachaça Prosa Mineira emerged in 2010, which brings sophistication and quality as sensory characteristics. No wonder she has been awarded 26 times.
In the still, the entire cachaça manufacturing process is done by hand, with all the care and attention necessary to produce a quality distillate with a unique personality. Control of all variables is in the hands of the producer. Thus, when the consumer receives Cachaça Prosa Mineira, he can not only taste a quality drink, but feel the care of the whole process.
When we talk about quality, we refer mainly to the right choice of the main raw material for cachaça: sugar cane. For this reason, the still has a nursery for seedlings and planting, as they believe that quality comes from the cradle.
The sugarcane maturation process to obtain an ideal brix standard (sugar content) for fermentation, in addition to cultivation in favorable climatic and soil conditions, are factors that directly influence the final result of the cachaça.
Cachaça do Anjo is aged for approximately one year and six months in barrels of balsam, amburana, American oak and European oak. This very high quality blend features integrated alcohol on the nose and an explosion of fruity and woody aromas with hints of caramel, almond, honey, vanilla and chocolate. On the palate softness and an incomparable sensation of flavors present in the taste buds. It is no wonder that Cachaça do Anjo won medals in all the contests it participated in in 2018, including the Silver Medal at the Brussels World Contest and the Gold Medal at EXPOCACHAÇA, the Vitrine Mundial da Cachaça, where it was considered and elected as the BEST WOOD BLEND IN BRAZIL.
