Francisco Cardoso dos Santos Aguardente ME – Cachaça MALANDRINHA

Founded in 1995 by Francisco Cardoso dos Santos "Chico Gabriel", who has been in the sugarcane business since 1951. In 1970, he worked in his uncle Salú's ox-drawn mill, where he made rapadura (panela) and sold it at the town market. In the 1980s, Mr. Chico Gabriel already produced cachaça in partnership with his father-in-law Raimundo Calorinda.

In 1992, he set up his own mill and began the process of registering with the Ministry of Agriculture, which ended in 1995. When he signed the papers to open the company, he gave it the name "MALANDRINHA". A brand is born with family activities reaching the 3rd generation, producing with a focus on quality and regional development, adopting sustainable practices throughout the process, from planting the sugar cane to marketing CACHAÇA MALANDRINHA SUPERIOR.
