Germana Cachaca Da Palha

Cachaça is the national spirit of Brazil, made from distilled sugar cane juice and corn flour. While rum is distilled from molasses left over after extracting the sugar, Cachaça is distilled directly from the juice of the
unrefined sugar cane. 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.

The production of Germana Cachaça begins with the growing of sugar cane. As with the making of all spirits, the quality of the sugar cane is imperative. When the production of Germana starts, all sugar cane is cut down by hand, using machetes, to make sure that the part of the cane with the best concentration of sugars is harvested.
