Which cachaça for a caipirinha?
Clear, unaged cachaças (prata or silver) are best for a caipirinha. They are fresh and let the lime take centre stage. Our caipirinha recipe shows you how.
What is the difference between prata and ouro?
Prata (silver) is unaged or only briefly rested. Ouro (gold) or envelhecida is aged in wooden casks, gaining colour and aromas such as vanilla, caramel or spices – ideal neat.
Why is cachaça aged in Brazilian woods?
Besides oak, Brazil uses native woods such as umburana, jequitibá, bálsamo or ipê. Each wood brings its own aromas – compare them, for example, with the Delicana range.
How is cachaça different from rum?
Rum is usually made from molasses, cachaça directly from fresh sugarcane juice. Learn more in our guide Cachaça vs. Rum.
