During the colonization period, cachaça was a drink consumed by farmers and drovers to relax after a hard day of work or to help alleviate the harsh cold in the Santa Rita de Caldas region, in the south of Minas Gerais. Often, it also served to liven up 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, they are able to not only taste a quality drink, but feel the care taken throughout the entire process. When we talk about quality we are mainly referring to the right choice of the main raw material for cachaça: sugar cane. Therefore, the still has a nursery for seedlings and planting, as they believe that quality comes from birth. The sugarcane maturation process to obtain a brix standard (sugar content) ideal for fermentation, in addition to cultivation in favorable climatic and soil conditions, are factors that directly influence the final result of the cachaça.
