Today the Santa Catarina farm has adopted sugar cane, a versatile plant, from sugar to biodegradable plastics, through bioenergy production to our delicious cachaça, everything is used. In 2008, the owners of the Santa Catarina farm, wanting to add another business to their property, decided to set up Destilaria Vitória, a company designed to manufacture the highest quality cachaça, truly a product of sensorial and chemical excellence, with several national and international awards in its curriculum, today the home of CACHAÇA CATARINA, named in honor of this lady who was the inspiration.
