Água boa de Salinas
Cachaça cachaça 5
Tasty water from Salinas
Certain regions have environmental conditions – soil, climate, altitude, sunlight, and luminosity – which, coupled with talent and techniques, are key to producing agricultural and food goods that stand out from products made in other locations. These conditions thus enable some brands to set quality standards in the market.
Scotch whiskey, Italian grappa, Russian vodka, and Mexican tequila are but a few examples. In some cases, the product is named after a region. Cognac and champagne, for instance, are both named after regions in France.
In Brazil, some brands of artesian sugarcane cachaça are extremely typical of certain regions. Paraty, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, was home to 250 sugarcane farms at the turn of the 18th^ century and, for a hundred years, was synonymous with high-quality cachaças. Nowadays, the most renowned cachaça comes from Salinas, in northern Minas Gerais State, though other cachaças also from the northern part this state, such as Ponte Nova, Curvelo and Januária, have reigned supreme at different times in the past.

Vicente Afonso’s father, Josino Afonso, and his brothers helped out on the farm and made cachaça, though the small-scale production was only enough for consumption by the extended family.
Some of these producers became known for making high-quality cachaça, even though distilling only complemented cattle-raising activities. As early as the turn of the 20th^ Century, some of these farmers already earned extra income from distilled sugarcane by selling directly to consumers or even to roaming traders, who distributed goods in towns and villages along the way.
These traders brought manufactured goods and took back with them farm products, including cachaça, and some even specialized in the cachaça trade.
From the 1940s and 1950s onwards, prospects for Salinas cachaças improved. In those days, production of some brands, such as Piragybana, by Ney Corrêa, and Havana, by Anísio Santiago, began in Salinas. Others brands soon sprang up, such as Indaiazinha, Seleta, Lua Cheia, Asa Branca, and Canarinha.

Setor começou a crescer
nos anos 90
The sector began growing in the 1990s
The agro-industrial cachaça sector in Salinas mushroomed as of the 1990s. In 1992, only 9 brands were distilled in this municipality, as compared to 48 brands in 2005. This expansion went hand-in-hand with the 1992 launch of the Minas Gerais State Program for Cachaça Production Incentives – Procachaça [Programa Mineiro de Incentivo à Produção de Aguardente).
In Minas Gerais alone, an estimated 8 thousand distilleries produce close to 180 million liters per year.
