 1803 J. Araujo Cachaça

J. Araujo Cachaça is made in the Cabral plantation by the Mello family, who started this production in that year. At that time, Brazilian cachaça was already a famous long-standing colonial product dating from the mid-1500`s.

 

Five hundred years ago the whole world was being intensively explored by tradesmen from different European kingdoms, who undertook long, regular voyages to Asia and Africa to exchange their products for gold, silk, spices and slaves, all source of incommensurable riches. Among these products much appreciated by the local populations in those foreign lands alcoholic drinks came first. And little by little, with the expansion of the sugar-cane plantations in Brazilian lands, cachaça reached a proeminent place in this trade, dislodging similar products of European extraction such as the wine and cider made by Spain and Portugal.

 

The Portuguese crown was not insensitive to the complaints of their native tradesmen, who could not compete in equal conditions with this specific Brazilian production, known in Africa as “marafo”. So, in the mid-seventeenth century the king prohibited all cachaça producers to sell the drink. In 1660, a furious outcry against this royal decree, known as the Cachaça Rebellion, shook the entire Rio de Janeiro region and the king had to revoke his order.

1660 was also the year in which the small village of Paraty conquered its autonomy and became separated from Angra dos Reis, in the south coast of Rio de Janeiro.

In 1763, when the capital of the colony was transferred form Salvador in Bahia to the city of Rio de Janeiro, there was a widespread development of sugar-cane plantation and the production of cachaça all around the city. It seems that in Paraty the fabulous drink found a place of choice for the town and its neighbouring lands started to become famous for the quality of its production and the drink itself became synonymous with “parati”.

 

Made by both big and small landowners, drunk by people from all walks of life, Cachaça is a cultural product, a very symbol of the birth of a nation.

 

The world-famous “Caipirinha” (meaning “little Caipira”; “Caipiras” are the simple people who work the land in the Brazilian countryside as opposed to the urban, cosmopolitan populations) has been the real ambassador of the Cachaça, making the traditional drink still more widely appreciated.

 

How to prepare a “caipirinha”:

1 lime cut into 8 pieces after severing out its two pointed ends

In a small container, add at least 1 spoon of sugar to the lime pieces

Crush the ingredients with a wooden baton

Add piled ice

Pour half a glass of Cachaça

Cheers!
