Fazenda Cachoeira / Destilaria Rocha do Brasil LTDA

Geschichte

Cachaca Rochinha is one of many premium agricultural products of the Cachoeira Farm in Rio de Janeiro’s beautiful Paraiba Valley. Built circa 1717 and named for the abundance of water and waterfalls on its lands, Cachoeira Farm was originally a coffee plantation. In 1871, equipment was added to mill sugar cane, and by 1902 this equipment was put to use in the manufacture of cachaça. Today the impeccably restored farm specializes in cattle breeding and the production of such milled products as brown sugar, traditional sweets like guava paste, and – of course – some of the nation’s finest cachacas.
